Good Friday to one and all. Some much needed rains are falling across the region today, and that’s a good thing. It’s also a good thing those rains move away just in time for us to enjoy another awesome weather weekend. From there, things continue to look rather stormy over the next few weeks.

Showers and the occasional rumble of thunder will be possible out there today, especially across the central and east. Winds will be rather gusty with temps closer to normal for this time of year.

Track away…

Sunny skies return for the weekend with highs in the upper 60s to low 70s. Sunday looks even better with temperatures reaching 80 degrees.

The pattern next week looks very warm and, occasionally, stormy for our part of the world. There’s a heck of a fight brewing between colder air to the north and July temps to our south. Check out the WeatherBell European Model temp forecast for the middle of next week…

Wow!

That type of temperature gradient sets up rounds of showers and thunderstorms for our region…

Euro 2

This will bring us an increased threat for heavy rains and stronger thunderstorms.

A much more potent storm system may impact our region next weekend…

Make it a fantastic Friday and take care.
