Warmer than average weather will return to the Four State Region
as Easter Weekend begins. This is due to surface ridging making
its way further across the Mississippi River, boosting southerly
surface winds and warm air advection in the process. Temperature 
maximums and minimums will begin warm up to the 80s/upper 50s as 
a result each day. /16/
