Discussion:

Let the countdown begin!  How many hours/minutes left until the start of your Memorial Day weekend??  Ahem..how many took a 4-day weekend??  I'll be sliding down the dinosaur's tail at 1!

I wish I could say all three days would stay dry, but that's just not the case.  (But why is that a surprise after the month we've had?)

Expect more clouds than sunshine across the region with a few showers this afternoon.  It's going to be another warm and muggy day with highs in the mid-70s..dewpoints near 60.

Partly cloudy overnight.  Areas of fog will develop with temperatures falling back to about 60 degrees.

Saturday will be the pick of the litter for the holiday weekend!  Mostly sunny skies in the forecast tomorrow with highs in the mid-80s!  Saturday will be a great beach day, but just remember the water is still chilly!  (Water temps: 54-58 degrees.)  If you plan on spending time outdoors, make sure you baste yourself in the SPF..I'm sure you rather eat a lobster than look like one!

We'll start with sunshine Sunday morning, but clouds will increase through the afternoon and that will lead to a chance of showers late in the day.  Expect another round of afternoon showers for Memorial Day with highs near 80.

Even though we'll have to dodge a few raindrops over the weekend, I wouldn't cancel any plans!  Just keep an eye to the sky and check the radar from time to time.  You can have the radar at hand whenever you need it by downloading our 22 News mobile app!
