Cold Easter with snow chances

“We really haven’t had the warm-ups that we usually see”, Margraf said. Omaha could end up with a half-inch of snow, the weather service said.

Eighteen percent of Aprils have had snow measured at Atlantic City International Airport.

Unfortunately, there is more snow on the way. We are also early into April.

More rain, with a chance for thunderstorms. Rain is likely going to mix with snow along the higher elevations.

Though this snow isn’t an April Fool’s joke, the Cambridge Police Department on Sunday did partake in a prank on a local meteorologist.

In any case, back to our wintry mix.

“Here comes the front around 2 p.m.”, Haney said.

The snow, which tapers off Monday morning as the coast low tracks out to sea, won’t be around long. The low temperatures will be in the mid 30s, and even colder north of Williamsport in Tioga and Sullivan counties and other Northern Tier counties, Evanego said. South wind 6 to 9 miles per hour. North Arkansas may warm to the low 40’s.

Despite the cloudy and cool start to the holiday, temperatures will manage to warm into the upper 50s under a mostly sunny sky by the afternoon.

The first wave will probably drop less than one inch of snow in the Twin Cities by late Monday afternoon with additional snow Monday evening, but some slick spots are possible during afternoon/evening drive time. Please take some extra time during the morning.

Right now it looks like widespread accumulations of 3 to 6 inches are possible with possibly up to a foot in the mountains.

Expect most areas surrounding St. Louis to be mostly dry through mid-afternoon, with precipitation moving in after 1-2 p.m. Everywhere else will stay as rain.

When you see maps predicting snow accumulation this late in the year, you’re more likely to see that snow piling up on grassy surfaces. That combined with a little bit of sunshine should make for a quick melt and cleanup. We get another dose of cold air for the weekend with highs in the low-40s.
