DETAILED FORECAST

Easter Sunday: A dry start to Easter Sunday is expected. It'll be a cool morning as we wake up close to freezing. Eventual highs will be in the lower to middle 40s. As we head into the second half of the day, the chance for rain and snow returns, mainly for areas south of Interstate 70. Given that temperatures will be dropping into the 30s there's a pretty good chance that we'll see snow falling, and accumulation is possible. This all comes to an end past midnight. Total snowfall accumulation around 1 inch is likely. However, some areas may see no snow, and a few spots may see up to 2 inches or more.

Monday: Partly cloudy skies are anticipated. Highs will be in the upper 40s.
