Celebrating Easter in the Fresno area?
You can expect sunny skies and warm temperatures for egg hunts, bunny meet-and-greets and other springtime fun, according to the National Weather Service.
“Temperatures will return to normal across the area” on Friday before rising to above-normal levels over the weekend and into early next week, the weather agency said in an X post.
Fresno had a 45% chance of a high temperature exceeding 85 degrees on Easter Sunday, according to the agency.
The probability of temperatures above 85 degrees will rise to 65% on Monday and 85% on Tuesday, the weather service said.
Although temperatures will be “a little above normal, we’re not expecting any excessive heat,” said David Spector, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Hanford.
Here’s what to expect:
