Friday morning, showers are expected to return and turn to steadier rain by noon. Highs are set to be in the 70s.
Isolated, strong thunderstorms are possible Friday afternoon as a cold front passes through.
Outdoor plans will be tricky on Saturday and Sunday of the long weekend.
Saturday won’t feel summery at all with highs barely above 60° and frequent showers. Overall, there’s an 80% chance of rain.
Rain chances are lower on Sunday, but watch out for occasional showers — especially before noon. Highs could be in the mid-60s amid a breeze.
High pressure should return on Monday providing sunshine and Memorial Day weather nice enough for a cookout, hike or outdoor remembrance ceremonies.
It won’t quite be warm enough for most of us to brave a dip the pool: Highs will reach the mid-70s.
Mild weather will last into Tuesday and Wednesday of next week, and Storm Team4 doesn’t expect more 90° days for a while.
