More Severe Weather Tonight?

As if we hadn't had enough rain this spring - 7.1 inches above normal for the year, 2.9" above normal just for the month of May - we really need to dry things out. 

Unfortunately for this Memorial Day weekend, it doesn't look like that will happen.  On top of getting more rain (not a complete rain out!), we could see more severe weather in our area.  We are under a Slight Risk area for severe weather this evening with the greatest risks being hail, high winds and heavy rain (we could see 1-2" locally under some of the storms).  There is also a slight chance for tornadoes.

The storms should end by about 1 am and then we will see clearing.  Saturday looks much better right now with only isolated shower and thunderstorm chances - most of the day should be nice.  Sunday morning we could see another cluster of storms and then some clearing.  So keep your umbrella nearby - but enjoy the holiday weekend!
