Happy Easter Weekend!

Hopefully you are outdoors enjoying the beautiful Spring day across much of the Lower 48. While temperatures are a bit chilly in the Midwest and Great Lakes, much much warmer in the 70s for 142 Million Americans. On Easter Sunday, even warmer!

Weather on Easter Sunday

\"\"

Watching a frontal boundary along the warm front bumping into the cold Canadian air mass. Could be some strong thunderstorms around Indianapolis Sunday evening, otherwise some moderate rainfall in the Ohio River Valley.

The low continues to spin off the Southern California coast before moving into the 4 Corners with snowfall at higher elevations. The ridge of high pressure remains strongly in place across the Southeast.

\"\"

Easter Sunday High Temperatures

\"\"

Exceptional warmth on Easter Sunday with 80s into Nashville, St. Louis, Charlotte and Atlanta. That will make for high pollen counts, but otherwise perfect to be outdoors. 70 million at/above 80\u00b0F.

\"\"

Wednesday and Thursday: a developing low-pressure system plows through the Great Lakes into the Northeast.

There is still enough cold air behind the low to generate heavy snow squalls and perhaps blizzard conditions on Thursday in New England. Colder air blasts behind the front for next weekend into the Southeast.
