Dry for Easter Sunday, Rain Chances Return by Tuesday!
Easter Sunday is looking mostly cloudy at times, but dry, with afternoon highs in the mid 80s. We've got high pressure to our East and a ridge over the top of us preventing any system really making any headway into our area. A sagging front will stall out over the area on Tuesday, but even then, rain chances will remain pretty slim locally, with the higher chances west and north of us. Overnight lows will be in the low 60s, and afternoon highs in the mid 80s to start the week, with upper 80s and maybe a few 90s to end the week. Bottom line, rain chances do return by Tuesday and stay with us for the rest of the week, but they will be rather slim. There is some uncertainty toward the end of the week as to how much that ridge breaks down, and whether or not we see a slight increase in rain chances, so stay tuned.
