Today is going to be the least pleasant weather day of the week, because it's going to basically be pouring all day. The heaviest of the rain will be in the afternoon hours, but we will be dealing with rain early this morning and later tonight as well. When it's done, 0.5" to 1" of rain will have fallen on the entire state...so bring your umbrella today if you want to stay dry. Tomorrow will be chillier nd feature rain and snow showers, but Saturday night is looking mighty interesting for me (not good for you, most likely) as a clipper moves through at the perfect hour to produce yet another snowstorm. Some models are indicating as much as 4-5" (see below)

Beyond that, it looks like we get one last shot of cold weather before a big warm up by the end of next week when temperatures could approach 80 degrees once again.
Today in weather history- April 7, 1857- In a very bizarre event, most of the US gets a deep freeze and accumulating snow as a very intense trough effects much of the eastern portion of the continent. Such an event is certainly unusual but not impossible...we can see places as far south as the extreme southern reaches of North Carolina can expect snow in the coming days.
