Sunny Saturday, Warm Sunday: A Quick Look at April’s Last Weekend

The last weekend of April offers a clear window for outdoor work. A light high‑pressure system keeps rain rare on Saturday, though clouds grow as the day goes on. Temperatures rise into the low to mid‑60s, a return to typical late‑April warmth after recent heat. A few brief showers might appear, but the dry air means they won’t soak anything. Sunday sees a shift. The high pressure pulls away, letting southeast winds push in more sunshine and fewer clouds. Daylight stretches out, making it an ideal day for projects that need full light. Heat climbs toward 70 degrees, giving a truly pleasant spring feel.The weekend’s calm will fade by Monday. A spring storm system heads toward the Upper Midwest and enters the area for the work week. Low pressure brings rain and thunderstorms, with the potential for severe weather if the track is close enough. Current forecasts suggest the strongest threat will stay south of the region, limiting damage to southern parts and beyond. Once the storm passes, cooler air follows. Temperatures will drop below average as April ends and May begins, offering a chillier start to the new month.
