Memorial Day Weekend Forecast

Some years have featured some rather unremarkable Memorial Day weekend forecasts -- temperatures in the 60's, clouds, and rain.  This year is much like last year's Memorial Day weekend -- warm, becoming a bit toasty on Memorial Day itself as a heat ridge begins to build in over the East Coast.    A weakening frontal boundary will lurk over the region on Saturday, providing scattered thunderstorms for the afternoon and evening hours in any one location.   Thunderstorms should not be an all day event but some spots could receive a couple of rounds of storms before the day is out.   The boundary dissipates on Sunday but there could still be a pop up thunderstorm or two to deal with in the afternoon as a push of warm air moves northeastward.

Memorial Day is shaping up as the warmest of the three days and the day with the lowest precipitation chances -- temperatures will flirt with 90 away from the Shore with plenty of sunshine and increasing...but not oppressive...humidity.   Each day will generally be nice but Monday will have the lowest odds of rain of the three, with Saturday featuring a scattering of thunderstorms around the region (again, not enough to kill outdoor plans altogether but enough to cause "rain delays").

Highs inland for Saturday and Sunday will be in the mid 80's, with lows each night in the 60's.   At the Shore, highs all weekend and Memorial Day will be in the 70's, with lows in the mid 60's at night.

We'll be around to update the weekend weather forecast for you throughout the holiday weekend.
