As the snow (where there is still some) from our April Fools snowfall melts this weekend, it will do so as a gusty west to northwest wind blows between our departed storm over the Canadian Maritimes and a high pressure area sliding across the US East Coast. We will see mostly dry weather though, with just a fair amount of clouds and a few scattered instability rain or snow showers this afternoon. Sunday will be sunnier day.
An active April pattern will continue, however, next week. Expect at least a couple of system to cross the region with unsettled weather. Although the models will have trouble pinning down the timing. Best bets at the moment are to expect rain ahead of a warm front Monday, showers with a cold front Tuesday, and another low pressure system bringing a chance of some wet weather around Thursday.
