Good morning!

Rain is falling across the area early on this Sunday morning and temperatures range from near 50 in Clifton down to the mid 40s further inland, winds are brisk out of the east.

Low pressure moving along a front to our south will cause periods of rain today, it will be chilly with most temperatures only in the upper 40s.

There may be a brief break in the rain Monday morning but another low pressure along the front will cause the rain to redevelop in the afternoon, temperatures will continue to be unseasonably cool.

Tuesday will still be cool with showers still likely.

Wednesday may be the best day of the week with milder temperatures and more sunshine.

Seasonable temperatures Thursday into Saturday but a couple of weak fronts may cause more showers.

Sunshine returns for Wednesday with milder temperatures but still another frontal system will give us a chance of showers on Thursday.

Skies are cloudy early on this Friday morning and temperatures range from the upper 50s in Clifton down to around 50 further inland, winds are calm or light easterly. There are some scattered sprinkles over parts of inland areas, but most places are dry.

A warm front will be crossing the area this morning with a chance of light showers with the front. Warmer air will then move into our area and temperatures will rise into the 70s. A cold front will then cross the area tonight giving us a chance of showers and possibly a thunderstorm.

Saturday will be a very pleasant spring day with plenty of sunshine and seasonably mild temperatures.

Unsettled weather Sunday through at least Tuesday as a couple of low pressure systems will move along the front to our south. The timing of rainfall is still in question as the computer models have a large spread of outcomes. One thing is for sure is that the temperatures will be cool with most highs only in the 50s each day with clouds and an onshore wind.

Fair weather returns for Wednesday but another cold front will give us a chance of showers on Thursday.
