A look ahead
Friday should start mostly sunny, but could see increasing afternoon clouds depending on the northward progress of a storm developing off the Southeast coast. Overall it’s another pleasant day with light winds, low humidity and highs in the low to mid-70s. Partly to mostly cloudy Friday night with lows in the upper 40s to mid-50s. Confidence: Medium-High
As of now, the coastal storm looks to stay far enough to our south to allow us a partly sunny and dry Saturday with highs in the 70s. Saturday night could bring a chance of light showers with lows in the 50s. Confidence: Medium
Some models show rain on Sunday while some models keep us dry. More models show rain on Memorial Day, but there are still some that keep us dry. It all depends how far north that coastal storm to our south makes it. For now all we can say is there’s at least a chance of showers both days, perhaps a better chance on Monday, with highs aiming for the 70s. Confidence: Low
