Easter will be cold!

Good Morning from Morning Meteorologist Kristen Connolly…

Yesterday we saw below average temperatures and even cooler air is on our way. An Artic high is pushing our way for our Easter weekend.

Right now the high is over southern Canada but already feeling the effects as temperatures are in the 40’s. Grab that jacket and keep it with you for the holiday weekend! For today we will see highs just hit around 50 degrees with mostly cloudy skies. There is a 30 percent chance of seeing precipitation during the day however that will increase tonight into the rest of the weekend. Tonight we will drop the lows to just around freezing so the possibility of seeing some winter precipitation is possible.

Tomorrow the artic high will be pushing into the Dakotas which will mean even cooler temperatures with highs possible not even pushing out of the upper 30’s. We will keep the chance for precipitation throughout the day; however accumulations will be small if any with the biggest impact on bridges and overpasses. The main concern will be into the overnight were temperatures could drop to below 30 degrees, so bundle up on your way out for church services or that Easter egg hunt!

By Sunday we should return to Southwesterly flow and start to bring the temperatures back up. High will reach the 70’s into Tuesday with partly cloudy skies for the beginning of the week.

Have a Happy Easter and bundle up!
