Well the holiday weekend weather should’ve been last week when temperatures were near 90, as this coming weekend will be unseasonably chilly with periods of rain through Sunday.

Today will become cloudy with rain developing around 4 p.m. and possibly becoming heavy at times tonight, temperatures will top out in the upper 60s as low pressure develops to our south. Rainfall amounts of 1-2 inches likely.

Periods of mainly light rain will continue Saturday and Sunday. Saturday will be quite chilly with highs in the 50s and with northeast winds gusting to 30 mph will make it feel even colder. Sunday will only be slightly milder with less wind.

Hopefully we can see some sunshine on Memorial Day with milder temperatures.

Warmer the rest of the week as high pressure moves into the area, there will be a chance of showers Wednesday and Thursday.
