Spring Weather Forecast Expect Showers and Sunshine Ahead

Spring often brings a mix of weather that can change quickly, and this week is no exception. Expect a blend of showers and sunshine, with temperatures gradually warming up as the week progresses. Whether you’re planning outdoor activities or just want to know what to wear, this detailed forecast will help you prepare for the days ahead.

Afternoon showers bring fresh spring air

Afternoon and Evening Showers to Start the Weekend

This afternoon, showers are likely, mainly after 1 p.m., with a 70% chance of rain. The sky will stay mostly cloudy, and temperatures will reach a high near 51 degrees Fahrenheit. A southeast wind will blow at about 8 mph, adding a slight chill to the air. Expect new precipitation amounts between a tenth and a quarter of an inch, enough to keep the ground damp but not cause flooding.

Tonight, showers will continue, mainly before 9 p.m., with a 60% chance of rain. The temperature will drop to around 40 degrees, and winds will calm down to about 5 mph from the southeast before becoming calm in the evening. This means a cool, wet night for most areas.

If you have plans this afternoon or evening, it’s wise to carry an umbrella or rain jacket. The showers will likely be light to moderate but consistent enough to make outdoor activities less comfortable.

Sunny Skies Return Sunday and Monday

Sunday brings a welcome change with mostly sunny skies and a high near 63 degrees. Winds will be calm in the morning and shift to the east at around 5 mph in the afternoon. This will make for a pleasant day to enjoy outdoor activities like hiking, gardening, or a picnic.

Sunday night will be mostly clear with a low around 39 degrees and calm winds, creating a crisp but comfortable evening.

Monday continues the trend with sunny weather and a high near 69 degrees. Winds will remain calm in the morning and become easterly at about 5 mph in the afternoon. This mild warmth is a great opportunity to get outside and soak up some spring sunshine.

Monday night will stay mostly clear with a low near 45 degrees, setting the stage for another comfortable night.

Showers Return Midweek with Cooler Temperatures

Tuesday starts partly sunny with a high near 68 degrees, but showers are possible after 2 p.m., with a 30% chance of precipitation. The afternoon rain may be light but could interrupt outdoor plans. Tuesday night will see a 40% chance of showers and mostly cloudy skies, with lows around 50 degrees.

Wednesday brings more significant chances of rain, with showers likely mainly after 2 p.m. The high will be near 64 degrees, and the chance of precipitation rises to 60%. Wednesday night will continue with showers likely before 2 a.m., mostly cloudy skies, and lows near 44 degrees.

These midweek showers will help keep the spring landscape green and fresh but may require some flexibility if you have outdoor commitments.

Cooler and Cloudier Toward the End of the Week

Thursday will be mostly cloudy with a high near 55 degrees and a 30% chance of showers. The cooler temperatures and cloud cover will make it feel more like early spring than late spring.

Thursday night will remain mostly cloudy with lows around 38 degrees, so it may feel chilly if you’re outside late.

Friday offers a chance of showers again, with partly sunny skies and a high near 55 degrees. The 30% chance of precipitation means some areas may see light rain, but there will also be breaks of sunshine.
