Easter Weekend Outlook...

Unfortunately, if you're looking forward to a nice springlike weekend for enjoying the outdoors, you're probably going to have to wait at least another week.
This weekend will be on the cool and damp side. Today's forecastThe stretch of dismal weather begins today, with
rain breaking out this afternoon. High temperatures will range from 47 to 50. About 0.25" of rain should fall between this afternoon and tomorrow morning.
Saturday's forecastSaturday may be the better of the two weekend days, but it's no winner by any stretch. Expect generally overcast conditions with
occasional drizzle. A cool, easterly fetch will hold high temperatures in the upper 40s.
Easter Sunday's forecastAn area of low pressure in the Tennessee Valley will cause
occasional rain to spread into the area. A continued easterly wind will keep temps on the cool side -- once again in the upper 40s.
Cherry Blossom UpdateThe Washington Post writes that the
Park Service Isn't Budging on Blossom Forecast and anticipates peak conditions next weekend. Let's hope the weather cooperates.
