Milder temperatures with a few showers will define Easter Sunday. To begin the day, mostly cloudy skies will be in place, with a slim chance of showers.
From around 11 a.m. through about 5 p.m., a round of showers will move through. The showers will be light to moderate at times, with an isolated rumble of thunder mixed in.
