Low pressure off the Maine coast as high pressure builds from the upper plains states will give us a brisk westerly flow of cool air. Skies will start off mostly sunny but we should see more clouds in the afternoon with a chance of isolated showers.
Not as cool on Sunday as the low pressure moves further away and high pressure builds closer to our area. Again skies will start off mostly sunny then become mostly cloudy in the afternoon with only a slight chance of a shower.
Memorial Day will be quite nice with plenty of sunshine and near normal temperatures as the high pressure builds into our area.
Tuesday will be dry with again near normal temperatures as the high pressure will be over our area.
A weak disturbance may touch off some showers Wednesday through Friday. Wednesday will be cooler with an onshore flow but we should have warmer weather by Friday that should extend into next weekend.
