Good Morning from KRBC Meteoroloigst Chris Whited...
* A line of strong thunderstorms will continue to move across the area early this morning. The storms are along the cold front and should move out of the KRBC viewing area by the middle of the morning. A few storms could be strong but the severe weather threat is pretty low. Once the storms move out look for decreasing clouds through the rest of the day, breezy and cooler with highs in the middle 70s. A chilly night ahead as many spots will drop into the upper 30s under a mostly clear night with a lighter wind.
* The Weekend: Mostly sunny for Saturday with afternoon highs in the middle to upper 70s. Perfect weather for Easter Sunday and warmer weather with highs in the middle 80s. Temperatures will be in the upper lower to middle 50s for sunrise services Sunday morning.
* Next Week: Sun and clouds start the week with temperatures warming back up into the upper 80s on Monday and Tuesday. A decent cold front arrives Wednesday morning with highs dropping back into the lower 70s for the middle of next week. The long range forecast models look dry for next week but I expect that to change as new data comes in over the weekend.
