Weather Eye: Better hunt eggs Saturday

Monday we enjoyed those unavoidable April showers; however most were on the light side, at least at the official rain gauge for Vancouver. Today I expect many to wake up with frosty conditions, particularly in the outlying areas.

We may manage a completely dry day if the next batch of rain holds off until after midnight. At least the daylight hours will be dry. Yes, another weather system arrives late tonight through Wednesday, with more rain falling.

The rest of the week calls for showers Thursday with things drying out a bit Friday through Saturday. So, if you want to hide Easter eggs outside this weekend, do it Saturday! Another storm moves inland on Easter Sunday. The following week will continue our trend of unsettled cool and wet weather.

By now we should be seeing plenty of days in the 60 and even 70s. Not this year. It seems like the trees and shrubs are a week or two behind in their leafing-out process. And that nasty windstorm Friday robbed many of the flowering trees of their beautiful blossoms.
