What To Know For Plans
Weekend plans look safe to keep as is, but if you have outdoor events on Tuesday evening, March 31, 2026, or Wednesday, April 1, 2026, it is smart to line up indoor alternatives or build in some flexibility. Secure patio furniture and lightweight decorations ahead of Tuesday, and be ready for quickly changing conditions if storms develop. Heavy downpours could lead to ponding in low spots. Drivers should check real-time road conditions at OHGO before heading out during the wet, windy window.
