Weather Update: 4-7-2012

A nice Saturday across the region with a high temperature of 72 after a chilly morning low of 36. We've seen increasing clouds throughout the day ahead of a cold front right now (10:00 PM) along or just east of the Mississippi River. There could be an isolated sprinkle or two, but 95% of the area will remain dry. Overnight here in Warrick County we'll drop to near 50 with clouds. Easter Sunday we'll be dry and a bit breezy, with high temperatures near 68. Not to mention, there will be plenty of sun to go around. Definitely will be a great day to go Easter egg hunting, or just going to sunrise church service with skies at daybreak clear. Monday looks mostly sunny and breezy once again, with high temperatures near 70 degrees. Temps Tuesday morning look pretty chilly. Low temperatures will be down into the upper 30's. High temps on Tuesday afternoon in Warrick County will be cooler than Monday, with actual high temperatures into the low 60's and breezy conditions. Wednesday morning there will be the potential for a widespread frost. It looks like, for now, lows will be near 35 a light NW wind and clear skies. I don't think a freeze will happen, but of course we'll just have to wait and see. Wednesday high temperatures will be a quite brisk with highs near 57 degrees. Once again, Thursday morning we could have frost. Low temperatures will be down into the mid 30's again with clear skies. There is a bit of a model difference for Thursday. The ECMWF has a system moving in late with the potential for some showers later in the day. On the other hand, the GFS does not move the system in until Friday. For now, I'm sticking with the GFS solution. Temperatures on Thursday will be similar to or slightly higher to Wednesday's, with highs near 60 degrees. During the day Friday we will see an increase in clouds, with high temperatures warmer than Thursday, into the upper 60's. It looks like some rain could move in as early as Friday night, but nothing really long lasting. High temperatures next Saturday will be much warmer, as a strong south flow develops with highs up into the mid 70's with some clouds around. It looks like the main area of storms will move in Sunday, that is if you are citing with the GFS. The timing of this system will most likely change, so keep that in mind if you have anything planned next weekend.
