After a work week with plenty of sunshine and highs in the 70s, the Easter weekend will see a change as storms possibly move in. The National Weather Services says that scattered showers and storms will be a weather factor for Saturday and Sunday. As of a Friday afternoon update, the chances for storms Saturday is 40%, dropping to 20% for Saturday night, 30% for Sunday before rising to 60% for Monday and Tuesday of next week. Any storms that could occur are not forecast to become severe.
