Last nice day before the wet Easter weekend

Well today was another nice day, just as we expected. The surfacea map below we can see the high pressure system still located near us which is the cause for this nice weather.Today's high reached up to 45F.

Current tempertures are at 45F. Humidity is at 37%, with a dew point of 20F. Winds are coming from the south around 5 mph. We know what south winds indicate...precipitation, and that is in the forecast for this easter weekend.

Again, taking another look at the surface map compared to the jet stream map we can see that the the low pressure system located near southwestern South Dakota is moving it's way over to us. The low pressure system combined with warm, moist air coming from the south will create wet weather conditions.

Tonight's forecast calls for a 60% chance of precipitation in the form of rain. Good thing it's rain and not snow. Hopefully it will help get rid of some of the snow!

Tomorrow's forecast calls for a 80% chance of precipitation in the form of rain before 4pm.
