Good Saturday to one and all. Our weather continues to look absolutely gorgeous on this Easter Weekend. As stated before, it simply doesn’t get a whole lot better than this for such an important holiday. Make sure to take advantage of it and go outside and play. 🙂

Will this pattern finally stat to produce some springtime showers and storms around here? That’s looking more like a potential for the week ahead as a couple of cold fronts show up.

The first front arrives late Monday into Tuesday and should spawn a couple of waves of showers and thunderstorms…

GFSThat’s a decent shot of chill beginning to show up behind that front by Wednesday…

GFS 2The good news is that it scoots through here very quickly and leaves us with a blast of warmth for the end of next week. That’s when temps make a run at 80 degrees for much of the region.

The problem with that may come as a cold front enters the picture by the start of the weekend. Check out the clash of air masses as it rolls through here…

GFS 3That looks like it could become a severe weather maker. Could being the key word there because the severe weather signals are simply not working out well this spring. It’s a super-duper slow starter of a severe storms season across the country. This is a continuation of the quiet severe weather we had last year, but I don’t think this ends up as weak as last year. The pattern for mid and late May could really come to life!

Take care.
