FORECAST DISCUSSION:

Good Thursday Morning

The severe threat is exiting the state to the southeast now through 1am and will continue to see scattered showers and a few rumbles of thunder for the next hour or so with some isolated showers before morning as the cold front slides through.

Temps will remain above normal early on Thursday in the middle 40s but will climb only a half dozen during the day to make for a mixed clouds and chilly day.

Winds will be up and gusty at times on Thursday and will remain breezy at times on Friday. Friday will be even colder with temps in the lower to middle 30s early and climbing to the upper 40s later. Saturday will see a frosty start, in fact some of us will see more of a freeze early Saturday.

Temps on Saturday will climb back into the middle 50s with a mix of clouds. I expect more clouds late Saturday with lows dropping to near normal for Easter Sunday with temps in the lower 40s early and climbinto the lower 60s later with rain showers returning with a cold front.

Expect showers to linger on Monday with highs in the middle 50s. Tuesday and Wednesday will be much colder with temps struggling into the lower 50s both afternoons with a good deal of clouds.
