Limited rain chances heading into Memorial Day weekend

 


We've managed to squeeze out a little more sunshine this afternoon which has given our temperatures a nice little boost over Wednesday's high, with a few locations breaking 60 degrees! This is the first time that has happened since Sunday afternoon.

Most of the shower activity has been to the south, falling just outside the viewing area. Winds will remain breezy through the evening as we hold on to at least some cloud cover through the rest of the night. But as drier air moves in, this should help clear our skies heading into Friday morning. Overnight lows will fall into the low 40s.


Friday will feature some sunshine but with some cooler air still aloft we'll likely see cumulus clouds build back in during the afternoon. This will limit our afternoon temperatures to the low to mid 60s, but a step in the right direction. High pressure will continue to build across the Great Lakes into the holiday weekend which will limit our overall rain chances locally.

A northeast to east wind will keep a somewhat drier air mass in place, while showers and thunderstorms occur to the southwest. Some showers may try to sneak into our skies Friday, and then again Sunday, but with any precipitation that would come down it doesn't appear to amount to much. So, if your holiday plans have you spending time outdoors you shouldn't have to worry too much about any significant rainfall.


Temperatures will warm slightly Saturday and Sunday, warming into the mid - perhaps upper 60s - through Monday. Our next noticeable chance for any precipitation may not arrive until the Tuesday/Wednesday timeframe next week.
