Not bad compared to if we had an all-weekend washout! Express forecast Today: Cloudy with some pop-up showers. Highs: Upper 60s to low 70s.
Tonight: Scattered showers/storms, especially late. Lows: Upper 50s to low 60s.
Tomorrow: Occasional showers/storms possible. Highs: Low to mid-70s. Forecast in detail Any rain today shouldn’t be too heavy or long-lasting, but could get more bothersome later tonight and into tomorrow. At least we had a nice start to the holiday weekend yesterday and still might salvage much of today. The hard-to-predict low-pressure system spreading the shower chances our way from the south continues to meander nearby through midweek.

Memorial Day (Tomorrow): Higher rain chances may pester us, but there will probably still be hit-or-miss patchiness to the showers and perhaps some thundershowers. Any rain, maybe adding up to over a quarter-inch in some spots, would be welcome given how dry we’re running lately, despite the inconvenient holiday timing. High temperatures aim for the low to mid-70s and breezes from the east and northeast could gust near 25 mph. Confidence: Medium
Tomorrow night: Easterly and northeasterly breezes may not slacken much. Skies stay mostly cloudy with periodic showers and even thunderstorms possible. Low temperatures bottom out in the 50s for everyone in the region. Confidence: Medium
A look ahead
Noticeable east and northeast breezes continue on Tuesday as the meandering low pressure lingers nearby. Showers, a few storms, and even some periodic moderate rain is possible, but forecast confidence isn’t very high. Highs could be as cool as the mid-60s with more rain, to as warm as the low 70s if we see less rain. Confidence: Low-Medium
Still a persistent breeze from the northeast on Wednesday with plenty of clouds. Shower chances should start to diminish but a couple of downpours can’t be ruled out before possible late-afternoon peeks of sunshine. As of now temperatures look like they’ll top out in the 70s. Confidence: Low-Medium
