Showers and Thunderstorms expected Easter Weekend — FIRST ALERT FORECAST

IF you were hoping for a holiday weekend heatwave, it looks like you’re going to be very disappointed. The warm front will also spark some afternoon showers. Several hours of steady rain are likely. There still remains minor differences between the models on the best timing for rain so again we’ll have to take this on a day by day basis as far as specific details on coverage and timing. Saturday morning’s rain may limit our chance for severe weather later in the day. A front will slowly drop in on Sunday evening.

Tuesday Night: Mostly cloudy, with a low around 43.

Breezy winds, out of the south 10-15 miles per hour.

Sunday night will bring a chance of showers and thunderstorms before 8 p.m. and showers will become likely overnight.

Monday: A 50 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Afternoon storms will have some instability to work with given the warmth, but no appreciable wind shear for any kind of organization.

Wednesday: A chance of showers. Temperatures are expected to continue above average through the next few weeks. Should the front clear the region a few hours earlier, warmer temperatures could be possible. Temperatures should top out in the mid 60s.

Saturday: Partly sunny, with a high near 64 degrees. A spotty shower or two is possible during the morning rush. Easter Sunday will see similar conditions, with a slight increase to 15C. Even though the overall severe threat is on the low end, you will need to stay weather aware during the afternoon and evening, especially if you have any sporting events or outdoor activities.

Adirondacks Temperatures will rise into the 60s on Saturday and may break 70 on Sunday. Temperatures will slowly be warming up with highs reaching the middle 80s.

Wednesday night: A chance of showers. We will see a lot more clouds and a few showers as a cold front approaches.
