Prepare your Easter fashions accordingly, because it will be a very wet holiday weekend.
It will not be a good weekend for the beach, a hike, or even a delightful egg hunt. Plan those Easter Weekend plans accordingly in order to avoid the rain and potential thunderstorms.
The instability associated with this storm will be a bit higher than the last few, which could lead to thunderstorm development Sunday into Monday. Gusty winds, lightning and hail are all possible as we wrap up the weekend.
Snow levels will start out high this weekend (6000') before falling to around 4500' Sunday. Mountain travel is not advised this weekend as some roads will be slick and dangerous to pass.
The other noticeable component to this Easter weekend storm is the much cooler air that will arrive with the rain. Temperatures will swing about 10 to 15 degrees from where they were during the middle of the week.
High temperatures Saturday will plummet to the low 50s. Sunday will still be much cooler than average, with high temperatures remaining nearly 15 degrees below the seasonal normals.
Feel free to send us your photos of what you're seeing in your neighborhood this weekend.
