Good Monday, folks. It’s another toasty temps day out there, but the pattern looks to flip around again later this week as things turn wetter and cooler. This is a setup likely to carry us through the big Memorial Day Weekend and may even roll into early June.

Temps out there today are mainly in the mid and upper 80s with the potential for a local 90 showing up on some of the warm biased thermometers.

Changes begin to show up as early as Tuesday as our first storm threat in a while arrives. This will be fairly isolated and confined to the late afternoon and evening hours as temps continue to run deep into the 80s.

From there, scattered showers and storms will increase into Wednesday and Thursday ahead of a system dropping in from the northwest. This may bring fairly widespread showers and thunderstorms in here to start the upcoming Memorial Day Weekend with another system following that up…

This may bring a nice drink of water into our region and will also bring our temps way down. As a matter of fact, it may be much cooler than normal for the end of May. The EURO is spitting out these numbers for highs Saturday…

And for Sunday…

So, May looks to end tame and June looks to begin rather tame. It’s also a period likely to feature above normal rainfall. Here’s the new 10 day rainfall departure ending June 5th…

Canadian Ensembles

If we extend things on out through June, the Extended version of the GFS Ensembles show above normal rainfall during this time…

Have a great Monday and take care.
