Soggy Easter Sunday

It is going to be a cool and wet Easter for much of the central part of the country today. The national radar shows this quite well - with heavy snow west and south of Denver, and rain stretching from just southeast at this hour all the way to the Gulf of Mexico.

Temperatures currently are well above freezing at 38 degrees F, and are expected to stay that way. Thus the National Weather Service still expects that any precip that does fall across the plains today to remain in the form of rain, albeit a cold rain. Right now local radar shows the rain just pushing into the southeast portions of the metro area. With any luck at all this band of precip will continue its northwest trend - and we'll end up with some much needed moisture here in the next hours.

The system is still scheduled to move out during the night tonight, with temps rebounding a bit for Monday.
