Good Morning! It will continue summer-like today. Warm & humid. We had a high of 90 yesterday. We’re headed for the upper 80’s today. An approaching front will enter the state, slow-down, and then stall. Widely scattered showers and perhaps some thunderstorms are back in the forecast. It will be wet at times Friday and Saturday. The wettest day will be Saturday. There could even be some leftover showers on Easter Sunday. The weekend will be rather cool with highs in the 60’s. At the moment, there is no severe weather in our future. Sunshine returns Monday. Here’s my brief forecast discussion.
