# Easter Sunday Delights—and a Shift on the Horizon

## A Perfect Spring Day

Easter Sunday arrived draped in sunshine, temperatures climbing to a delightful **low 70s** by afternoon—just right for egg hunts or sprawling family picnics. Mornings were pleasantly crisp, so a light jacket was the smart choice for early risers. The day couldn’t have been more ideal for outdoor adventures.

## The Week Ahead: Stability, Then Shifts

The forecast stays gentle for now—**mild days, plenty of sun**, and quieter than usual activity for this season. But be warned: the atmosphere is restless. Long-range models hint at a coming change—**a shift in wind direction**, **rising moisture levels**, and by the weekend, **rain in the cards**.

Officials are already eyeing a trend toward above-average rainfall, so if your plans include outdoor events, stay tuned to updates.
