Short Cool Spell Expected Before Summerlike Surge on Holiday Weekend

A passing cold front will bring brief showers and cooler readings while building high pressure drives a rapid warm-up into the 80s by Sunday.

Overview

  • Wednesday featured abundant sun and milder air with highs in the mid-60s, a noticeable rebound from colder conditions earlier in the week.
  • A cold front is forecast to move through Thursday and Friday, dropping highs to the upper-50s to low-60s for much of the region.
  • Scattered showers and a few isolated storms are possible at times, with the next best chance arriving Friday night into Saturday morning.
  • Skies should clear Saturday afternoon and a strong ridge of high pressure will push temperatures into the upper-70s to mid-80s by Sunday and into early next week.
  • Most Memorial Day plans are likely to see only brief impacts from the rain, but localized timing of the front and low-level moisture could produce isolated storms and affect early holiday activities.
