The Spring showers that have been neglecting the region are finally on the way. With them, we also have the potential for thunderstorms.

Warmer air lifting into the region, today, will bring areas of rain, and possible thunderstorms to the area. In between these events, however, we will see occasional breaks for sunshine. This sunshine could create more instability, which in turn could help more storms to develop this afternoon.

Saturday, the cold portion of this disturbance will make its approach on the area. As this happens, more thunderstorms will develop. Some of the rain associated with these storms may be heavy too! Ahead of the cold front we can expect mild temperatures. On the back side of it, we will see those temperatures fall into the 50's!

Once that cold front swings through the region, we will see a clearing trend. By Sunday, mostly sunny skies will dominate the area, and the temperatures should remain rather comfortable. Don't get too used to it, though. Rain and snow are both possible as we end April and Begin May. You can see the Storm Team forecast at WSEE.tv.
