1149 PM CDT Sat Apr 1 2023
.SHORT TERM… Issued at 300 PM CDT Sat Apr 1 2023
Through Sunday night…
Gusty northerly winds and extensive cloud cover continue to result in a rather raw April 1 for the area, as surface temperatures struggle to warm into the lower 40s. Fortunately, the cloud cover and surface winds will decrease across the area this evening as a surface ridge of high pressure shifts overhead. This will support a chilly night across the area as the surface temperatures drop into the upper 20s to low 30s. However, we are expecting a quick recovery in temperatures on Sunday thanks to a return to breezy south winds and increased sunshine. While some gustiness up to 35 mph is likely during the day, high temperatures should top out well into the 50s to the low 60s during the afternoon. Quiet weather continues Sunday night as a weak surface cold front shifts into the area overnight.
