Sunny Saturday, Warm Sunday: A Quick Look at April’s Last Weekend

Upper Midwest, USASunday, April 26, 2026

Saturday

  • Clear window for outdoor work: A light high‑pressure system keeps rain rare.
  • Clouds grow later in the day, but temperatures rise into the low‑mid 60s—a return to typical late‑April warmth after recent heat.
  • Brief showers may appear, yet the dry air ensures they won’t soak anything.

Sunday

  • High pressure pulls away, letting southeast winds bring more sunshine and fewer clouds.
  • Long daylight hours make it an ideal day for projects that need full light.
  • Heat climbs toward 70 °F, offering a truly pleasant spring feel.

Monday

  • Calm fades: A spring storm system moves toward the Upper Midwest and enters the area.
  • Low pressure brings rain and thunderstorms, with a potential for severe weather if the track is close enough.
  • Current forecasts: The strongest threat remains south of the region, limiting damage to southern parts and beyond.

Post‑Storm

  • Cooler air follows. Temperatures will drop below average as April ends and May begins, offering a chillier start to the new month.
