Mildest day of the work week appears to be Monday with more chances for rain on the way…

TONIGHT: Mostly clear skies. Low 41.

MONDAY: Mostly sunny & Seasonable. High 67.

TUESDAY: Stray PM Showers. High 65.

Saturday brought much needed rain to the mid-state. Areas west of the river mainly saw between 0.25-0.50 inches but thanks to a few heavier downpours, much of the east shore saw between 0.50-0.75 inches. While this doesn’t end our drought, it should help keep the grass green through this upcoming work week so be sure to make some time for a mow (or two!) this coming week.

Sunday started cloudy with areas of drizzle. The afternoon brought gradual clearing and we began to dry out. After sunset tonight, skies became mostly clear. With light winds, temperatures will drop to the upper 30s and low 40s. Low-lying areas that are typically cooler, like valleys, have a chance for patchy frost tonight.

Monday will be the best day of the week with mostly sunny skies and seasonable temperatures in the upper 60s. Tuesday evening will bring a chance for stray showers in the afternoon and evening. A better chance of widespread rain appears to be late Wednesday evening into early Thursday morning. We’ll continue to keep you updated on the rain chances for the week! The end of April into early May looks like it could be on the cool side too.
