Plentiful showers and thunderstorms into the weekend

Tonight: A few isolated showers to begin the night eventually turning into heavier rain. Don't be alarmed if you hear thunder tonight into early tomorrow as there is a possibility of some thunderstorms forming a little after 2:00 a.m. Stay warm and bundled up tonight as temperatures will remain in the high 40s and low 50s range, and if you do go out tonight remember to grab an umbrella and put on those rain boots!

Tomorrow: For tomorrow morning, we will continue to see showers moving through our area from the previous night. These showers will likely end evening time eventually just turning into cloudy skies. The winds tomorrow will be really strong with gusts increasingly getting more powerful throughout the day. Gusts will start out increasing to 20 mph in the morning time and will eventually reach almost 40 mph by evening. Temperatures are also going to be increasing throughout tomorrow hitting mid-70s. Unfortunately though, it might feel a lot cooler than it actually is due to cloud coverage and wind gust combination.

Seven-Day Forecast: Looking at the visual we see a pattern of rain and showers coming into our area for the next seven days. Weekend thunderstorms are looking more and more promising for our area, especially on Sunday with a small chance of severe weather. We will also see big temperature increase from 50s to 60s and 70s. Jokes on us though as we see continuous ran but ironically, the sun will be out on April Fools Day. After Tuesday, rain will reenter the forecast for the remainder of the week The good news about the rain is the blossoming of spring coming from it. April showers truly do bring May flowers. Stay dry this week.
