A cold front will send scattered rain showers today with mostly cloudy skies across most of the region. It will be damp but will not be a wash out. The chance of rain showers with the possibility of some snow showers are possible Friday night. The weekend looks nice with partly to mostly sunny skies. The exception will be Saturday night when a cold front that moves across the region saturday night sends another round of isolated to scattered rain showers. It will clear out nicely for Easter Sunday but clouds will be on the increase as an area of low pressure approaches from the southwest sending the chance of rain and snow into the region Sunday night into Monday. This could very well just slide to the south of the region. Another area of low pressure will approach from the southwest and drag a warm front north, how far north this warm front makes it will determine precipitation type and temperatures, but I am leaning towards a cooler solution as typically warm fronts have a harder time in moving north in this type of setup than what models advertise.
