Good Sunday, everyone. We have another gorgeous weather day in the works across the Commonwealth. Much of the past month has featured a lot of nice days. That may be about to change as our pattern tries to turn much more active over the next few weeks.

Highs today will be in the upper 70s to around 80 under mostly sunny skies. Similar conditions should be noted on Monday with a small storm threat late in the afternoon and evening.

From there, we see a healthy temperature gradient setting up across the country. Take a look at this…

GFS

We will have a boundary draped across the region with a few waves of low pressure working through the region. That means an increase in showers and storms, with the potential for a few strong boomers. The first system impacts the region from late Tuesday through Thursday…

A much stronger system is likely to move in here next weekend…

Euro 2

That storm has been well signaled by the models for a while now, and it could be a strong or severe thunderstorm maker. It could also put down quite a bit of rain as we flip the calendar from April to May.

Check out the colder than normal temps coming in behind that…

Enjoy the day and take care.
