Rain chances are expected for Memorial Day weekend

(WWAY) — After a dry week, rain chances return just in time for Memorial Day weekend.

A front will be stalled in the vicinity today leading to widely scattered showers and thunderstorms under clouds and partial sunshine with highs in the mid 80s. While the front does move back north for the Memorial Day weekend… it will remain unsettled with a continued chance of showers and thunderstorms Saturday and scattered showers and thunderstorms Sunday. Look for highs both days reaching the middle 80s. A steady stream of moisture will remain in place early next week leading to a continued chance of daily showers or thunderstorms with a rather typical summertime pattern in place. It will likely be very warm with highs reaching the upper 80s for Memorial Day through the middle of next week.
