Weekend Ahead Features Storms...

Once again, rounds of thunderstorms are going to be working into the state for the Memorial Day weekend. The first round likely coming in early tomorrow with redevelopment along this system Saturday afternoon. The next system to come into play will be for Sunday night and into Memorial Day, with several chances of thunderstorms continuing throughout the early week period.

Today looks like a nice way to start the weekend off however, with highs in the 70s and lows tonight in the 50s. Some thunderstorms may work their way into the western part of the state by Saturday morning; hampering highs for the day. Upper 60s in the west while the eastern part of the state could see temperatures into the mid 70s. Expect thunderstorms to redevelop Saturday afternoon over the state with some severe weather being possible. Instability is expected to be >1000 j/kg with decent shear values will allow supercell development along with the threat of damaging winds and large hail. Currently the tornado threat is low, but not being ruled out along the warm front.

By Sunday this system has moved out, highs once again in the 70s with lows in the 50s much like before the front. However, by Sunday night the next system is already working its' way in with a more likely threat for thunderstorms on Monday. Your memorial day will still see highs in the mid and upper 70s as well as lower 80s, but likely have to dodge some afternoon thunderstorms as well. Monday night lows much milder in the low to mid 60s, however thunderstorm chances still hanging around...
