DAYS 1-5 (APRIL 12-16)
\nFor those celebrating Easter today in whatever limited way you can do it, you will find some very nice weather to accompany any outside activity, although it does start out chilly this morning before warming up nicely. There will be a breeze at times and some variable cloud cover at times, especially this afternoon. These clouds we see today are the forerunners of a storm system that is going to impact the region in a significant way Monday with rain and wind. There is the potential for damaging wind gusts, especially in the afternoon. These should occur in pockets rather than in a widespread fashion, as it’s the type of set-up that very strong winds are blowing from the south above the ground, and pockets of heavier rain can push some of these winds down to the surface, creating powerful gusts. Wind damage and power outages will certainly be a problem in some locations. Quick improvement comes Tuesday, a breezy but still very mild day behind the departing system. But colder air quickly moves in at night and the front that brings it will sit just to the south of the region while a wave of low pressure moves along it, turning Wednesday into a chilly and unsettled day, although the current indications are that precipitation from that low pressure wave would be mostly light and over southern locations – something to keep an eye on. Nevertheless, the atmosphere has another disturbance it will throw at us from the west later Thursday when a few rain and even snow showers may occur with chilly air in place.
