Weekend Weather Forecast: Showers, Thunderstorms and Sunshine Ahead

The weekend weather is shaping up to be a mix of wet and dry conditions, with showers and thunderstorms early on, followed by sunnier skies as the week progresses. If you have outdoor plans or errands, knowing what to expect can help you stay comfortable and prepared. This forecast covers the next several days, highlighting key weather events and what they mean for your weekend and beyond.

Morning showers bring wet streets and gusty winds

Sunday Morning Showers and Windy Conditions

Sunday starts with steady showers mainly before 11 a.m., accompanied by an east wind blowing around 11 mph, with gusts reaching up to 22 mph. Temperatures will peak near 64 degrees Fahrenheit, making it a cool and damp morning. The chance of precipitation is 100%, with new rainfall amounts expected between a quarter and half of an inch.

These conditions mean outdoor activities early Sunday may be soggy and windy. If you plan to be outside, consider waterproof clothing and secure loose items that could be affected by gusts. The steady rain will likely slow down traffic and create slick roads, so drive carefully.

Sunday Night Brings Thunderstorms and More Rain

As Sunday turns to night, showers and thunderstorms are likely before 1 a.m., with showers continuing and possibly another thunderstorm between 1 a.m. and 2 a.m. After 2 a.m., showers will persist but with less intensity. The low temperature will drop to around 53 degrees, and the east wind will ease to 3 to 7 mph.

The chance of precipitation remains high at 90%, with new rainfall amounts between a half and three quarters of an inch possible overnight. This means the ground will stay saturated, and flooding in low-lying areas could be a concern. If you live in flood-prone zones, keep an eye on local alerts.

Memorial Day Brings Showers and Patchy Fog

Memorial Day will start with showers mainly before noon and patchy fog before 9 a.m. The temperature will rise to near 75 degrees, with calm winds becoming west at 5 to 7 mph in the afternoon. The chance of precipitation is 80%, with new rainfall amounts between a tenth and a quarter of an inch possible.

The fog in the early morning could reduce visibility, so take extra care if you are driving. The showers will taper off by midday, leaving the afternoon drier and more pleasant. This makes Memorial Day afternoon a better time for outdoor activities like barbecues or walks in the park.
