This holiday weekend looks to continue to be warm, humid, and at periods of time a little stormy. Not everyday will be as soggy, but there are a couple days that look to see more rainfall.
Planning out the best chances for rain look to be both Friday and Saturday, especially in the evening. For your Friday you'll want to keep the umbrella handy with scattered showers and storms expected. A warm front will lift north today allowing for continued transport of warmth and moisture. We get several disturbances to rotate through the area today that will help to keep the threat for rain. Through Friday afternoon look for about a 50% chance while this evening that goes to about 60% making them a little more likely. The severe threat looks marginal, or fairly low, though can't rule out a stronger storm or two. Biggest concern in thunderstorms through the weekend will be the potential for heavy rain with dew points in the 60's. Favored area for strong to severe storms will be west of the area, closer to the low pressure system and cold front extending through Iowa, Missouri, and Oklahoma. However, can't rule out an isolated storm with gusty winds, again though we'll want to watch for heavier downpours. 
General storms continue through Saturday and Sunday with no real severe threat. Temperatures will stay in the 80's through the weekend and into next week. Sunday and Monday however will stay mainly dry with just an isolated shower or storm possible in the morning Sunday then more sunshine and same story on Monday.
So, if you're planning on heading out to one of the many events this weekend, or want to hand out with loved ones, it won't be a total wash out but Sunday and Monday look to be on the drier side.
