) - As we head into Easter weekend, a significant weather pattern shift is on the way. While Saturday starts pleasant, a strong front approaching from the north will usher in rain Sunday morning — timing that could impact church services and Easter egg hunts across the area.
Saturday will feel like much of this week — pleasant and mild. Expect temperatures to climb into the low 80s with partly cloudy skies and breezy conditions. A few scattered showers are possible in the afternoon, but rain chances remain low at just 30%. No significant storms are expected, making it a good day for outdoor activities earlier in the day. However, rain chances begin to increase late Saturday night as a surface front approaches the area, setting the stage for what could be a wet Easter Sunday.Here’s what to expect for Easter Sunday: An 80% chance of rain beginning in the very early morning hours. This timing is a concern for church services and Easter egg hunts planned for Sunday morning. The best chance of rain will continue through midday Sunday, with potential for clearing conditions by Sunday afternoon. Temperatures will be cooler, with a high near 71 degrees.Plan indoor activities or move Easter celebrations earlier in the day if possible. Keep an umbrella handy for morning services and outdoor events.While the timing isn’t ideal for Easter festivities, this rain is desperately needed. The area is experiencing a severe to extreme drought, with a rainfall deficit approaching 9 inches for the year so far — a significant shortfall just three months into 2026. Unfortunately, we may only see about a half an inch of rain with this system.After Sunday, conditions gradually dry out. Monday will be cool with highs in the upper 60s, then temperatures rebound into the mid to upper 70s for the rest of the week. Sunshine returns Tuesday through Friday, bringing a stretch of pleasant spring weather.If you’re heading to the beaches this weekend, be aware: Rip current risk will be dangerously high on Saturday and Sunday due to breezy conditions and strong southerly flow. Exercise caution in the water and stay close to shore. Rip current risk decreases next week as conditions calm.Easter weekend weather: Rain expected Sunday
