Not much to report from the weather this morning – aside from saying, “Golly, it sure looks nice!”
Aloft we may be dealing with a southwesterly flow still, but that doesn’t change the fact that we are more northerly at the surface. That is helping to continue to dry things out. As the base of the trough passes through the area today and into tomorrow, it will leave us with a northwesterly flow aloft by later this week – and still dry!
That should hold all the way through Easter Sunday. That said, it may be a bit cloudy on Easter as we get some cloud spray from the next system.
Then next week things get a bit more active as we glide through Monday and into Tuesday when the next system arrives with a shot for storms and the potential for more severe weather.
It doesn’t look like this next system will be like the last system, so we can’t really make a 1-to-1 comparison. But I’ll continue to monitor things (you can too!) as we get closer.
