Strong low pressure off the Maine coast along with high pressure building from the middle of the country will give us a strong northwest flow of cool air along with partly sunny skies, winds may gust up to 40 mph.
Saturday will be a sunny day with slightly milder temperatures, it will still be breezy but less wind than today.
Easter Sunday will be milder but we should see an increase in clouds during the day with rain developing late at night as low pressure approaches our area.
Soaking rain especially on Monday morning as the low pressure moves through the area, expect 1 to 2 inches of rainfall.
