High pressure will then build into the area from the northwest on Friday and will be a breezy day with near seasonable temperatures.
The weekend looks to be dry except for a weak disturbance that may cause some showers before dawn on Easter Sunday. Temperatures will be mild with highs both days near 60 degrees.
