Beautiful Memorial Day Weather…

Screen Shot 2016-05-30 at 8.46.39 AMHighlights:

  • Sunny, warm Memorial Day
  • Scattered storms mid week
  • Cooler late in the forecast period

Sunscreen and Sunglasses needed…High pressure will supply plenty of sunshine for Memorial Day.  While it’ll be warm, it’ll be a little less humid than the past few days.  All-in-all, it’ll be a great day to be outdoors.  Enjoy it!

A cold front will move closer to the region come midweek and tap into available Gulf moisture to create a good chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms Wednesday PM into Thursday.

Come late week, modeling differs on the precise details.  For now, we’re leaning towards a cooler, unsettled look.  Fine tuning will be required as we move forward.

7-Day Precipitation Forecast:

  • Snowfall: 0.00″
  • Rainfall: 0.25″-0.75″

Better Chance Of Afternoon/ Evening Storms Today; Big Cool Down Looming…

  • Scattered PM storms fire up
  • Warm, humid, but mostly dry race day and Memorial Day
  • Big cool down looming

Better Coverage Of PM Storms…A warm, humid, and increasingly unstable air mass will be present today.  Throw in a couple weak upper level disturbances lifting through the region and we should see a better coverage of afternoon/ evening thunderstorm activity when compared to the past couple days.  Some locally heavy rainfall will be possible.

Thankfully, aerial coverage of showers and storms will diminish Sunday and Memorial Day, itself.  We’ll maintain mention of an isolated to widely scattered storm.  Conditions will remain warm and humid.

Our next best chance of rain and storms will push in Thursday.  This is in association with a cold front.  Behind this cold front, expect a big push of refreshing, unseasonably cool air to blow into town to close the work week.  Temperatures grow cooler next weekend (lows at night in the 40s are possible).
