rain/snow showers. There might be some graupel at times with some of
the stronger showers. High temperatures will range from the upper
30s to around 50.

Easter Sunday Afternoon and Sunday Evening

A shortwave trough will move southeast through the region during the
afternoon of Easter Sunday and Sunday evening. Steep 950-900 mb
