Friday should be another nice day overall, but an approaching system from the Southeast could introduce more clouds by afternoon or evening.

The Memorial Day holiday weekend continues to look quite complicated by this slow-moving, low-pressure system that’s approaching. This means chances for rain each day, which could vary from spottier showers to moderate rainfall. However, if the storm stalls just to our south, we could find some drier periods, too. As of now, Saturday may see less rain and Sunday perhaps the most, but this is subject to change. Skies should be cloudy to mostly cloudy through most of the weekend into Monday, with cooler-than-normal highs in the 70s and lows in the 50s. Confidence: Low-Medium
