Sunrise on Easter Sunday will be at 7:08 am, and the forecast calls for plenty of sun and a few clouds.  We can’t rule out a quick shower in spots in the East Coast metro area, but it won’t be enough to ruin Easter egg hunts.  Highs on Sunday will be mostly in the mid-80s on the mainland and in the low-80s in the Keys.
