0
Good Tuesday Morning, and welcome to the Rundown! Today is Tuesday, April 2nd, 2019 and it is the 92nd day of the year. There are 273 days left in this year. Summer arrives in 80 days and Easter is in 29 days.

Weather Outlook

I think it was cool all day yesterday. Thankful for my electric blanket! Here’s a look at the WTVA – The Weather Authority forecast for the day:
Overall, high pressure will continue to control our weather forecast through the next few days and this will mean some pretty good weather will continue in our weather forecast over the next few days. We will see a couple of frontal systems will give us a couple of chances for some showers and thunderstorms in our weather forecast down the line. One of those chances that stands out will be on our Thursday and another chance will be found in our weather forecast for our late weekend and into early next week. There will be some chances for some heavy and/or hefty thunderstorms in the mix of things with these frontal passages. Today sunny, with a high near 64°. Calm wind becoming northwest around 5 mph in the afternoon. Tonight clear, with a low around 41°. Calm wind.
