The Latest Holiday Weekend Forecast

Get ready for an even bigger warmup for your Thursday and off an on storm chances heading into the Memorial Day weekend. Here's a full breakdown of what the current model runs are suggesting as far as the forecast.

THURSDAY: Expect hot and windy conditions ahead of our next cold front. Afternoon highs will be close to 90 with wind gusts up to 45mph possible. Our next cold front will start to push in by the evening, giving us a chance for storms during the evening and overnight hours. Storms will be concentrated mostly along the front. A few storms, especially along and west of I-39, could produce some hail and gusty winds.




FRIDAY: Our cold front sags to the south, taking rain chances with it. Friday afternoon should see plenty of sun and highs in the low 80s. Our cold front then starts to move back north as a warm front, giving us another shot at some late evening/overnight thunderstorms.







SATURDAY: The timing of this now warm front is still up in the air, but it will continue to push north as we head through our Saturday. We put an isolated chance of showers and storms, particularly in the morning, in the forecast, but don't be surprised if many areas stay dry to kick off the holiday weekend. Highs look to stay in the low to mid 80s with some humidity starting to build in from the south.




SUNDAY: With our warm front well to our north, expect big time heat and humidity. Highs will be in the low 90s with a mix of sun and clouds through the afternoon.









MEMORIAL DAY: We stay warm for Memorial Day, but not nearly as hot as Sunday, with highs in the mid 80s. Our next cold front will start moving in by late afternoon, giving us the chance for a few scattered storms, but nothing to cancel your plans at this point.
