With a cold front slowly tracking east across the region, we could see some showers and thunderstorms popping up this afternoon. These will predominantly affect the Upstate, but will build farther east throughout the afternoon. Chances remain low, but an isolated storm could become severe depending on whether any sun manages to break through the clouds. Heavy downpours and gusty winds will be possible with any storms until they end around 6:00 PM, so stay weather aware! Highs will climb to the upper 60s to mid 70s.

Clearing will begin to develop quickly as the front passes east, with western parts of the area likely seeing the clear in time for a few hours of sun. If clouds don’t clear for you by sunset though, they will overnight. A drier air mass will settle in with cooler lows in the mid 40s to low 50s.

Friday looks absolutely gorgeous! Mostly sunny skies will get Easter weekend started, with highs comfortably in the low to mid 70s. We will see some back-and-forth weather from there, though. Scattered showers return on Saturday, but temps will stay warm in the 70s. Then some sun makes a comeback for Easter Sunday with highs in the upper 60s to low 70s.
