Tracking a warmup into Easter rain chances

TODAY: Wednesday starts chilly, with temperatures in the 20s with a light northwest breeze. Winds will gradually turn westerly, and with increasingly sunny skies, highs will reach to just near 50.

TONIGHT: It's another chilly night, with temperatures falling to just near freezing into the early morning Thursday.

EXTENDED: Winds are more directly from the southwest, which will warm us into the 60s under mostly sunny skies on Thursday. Friday brings more southerly flow and more clouds, but our warmup continues into the 70s regardless. This warm up is thanks in part to a warm front that lifts north through the day. This triggers rain just north of us on Friday, but a cold front attached to it may bring a chance for showers overnight. This front will likely stall overhead on Saturday, keeping clouds in the forecast, and temperatures highly questionable. We'll likely land somewhere in the 70s for highs and remain mostly dry. Rain chances will develop though, as the stalled boundary interacts with better moisture and disturbances aloft. This keeps rain chances in the forecast Sunday into Monday, before the boundary slides south on Tuesday. Rain location, timing, and amount largely depends on the location of the boundary, but it continues to look like we may see rain on Easter Sunday. Temperatures will largely hinge on this as well, with large spreads in temperatures from the 60s to upper 70s depending on where we are in relation to the front. Either way, we are likely cooler next week.
