Highlights:
- Rain ends and sunshine arrives later today
- Pleasant Carb Day
- Stormy at times this weekend
Trend Is Our Friend Today…Showers are “pinwheeling” around an area of low pressure to our east this morning, but these will begin to diminish as we move through the late morning and into the early afternoon. In fact, we think sunshine works in here later this afternoon and provides a pleasant finish to the day!
The majority of Friday will feature sunshine and pleasantly warm conditions by afternoon. We’ll keep a close eye on the radar Friday evening/ night, but currently believe thunderstorms will remain just north of here.
Unfortunately, the long race and Memorial Day weekend won’t be rain-free, but it also won’t be a wash-out. Most widespread thunderstorm activity should arrive Saturday evening into Sunday morning and some of these could become strong to severe. The current Day 3 (Saturday) Outlook from the Storm Prediction Center places central and southern portions of the state under a Slight Risk.
While we can’t completely rule out an afternoon shower or storm Sunday, the most widespread activity should occur during the morning hours- before race time. Stay tuned. We’ll turn cooler early next week…
