Summary/Highlights:

If you’re looking for a quiet week of spring weather, let me introduce you to the second full week of April 2021. This week will not feature much sun, but will be mostly precipitation free and will have generally consistent temperatures. On Monday and Tuesday, temperatures should generally stay in the upper 50s to around 60 degrees with periods of mixed clouds and sun likely. Some stronger winds on the order of 30 to 35 mph will also be possible throughout both of those days. As we head into Wednesday, cooler temperatures and mostly cloudy skies come into the picture. These conditions should also last into Thursday before some more sunshine and warmer weather returns for Friday. Throughout the weekend, expect partly to mostly cloudy skies and occasional chances for rain showers, mainly during the afternoon and evening hours. Thunderstorms are not expected with this shower activity.

National Weather Headlines:

Heavy rain and flooding is expected across portions of the South, Mid-Atlantic, and Northeast regions of the United States this week as a large weather system is poised to produce hefty amounts of rainfall in those regions. Cumulative rainfall of 1 to 2 inches is a possibility.

A quiet week of severe weather is ahead for much of the United States. This is great news considering the large amount of severe weather events that have occurred over the southern part of the country over the past two months.
