Saturday Evening Update:
Today swayed to the cooler side and our high temperatures did not exceed the 60s for most of us due to the warm front taking a slower route.
As we head into the overnight hours, that warm front will bring up our temperatures for tomorrow, and our lows will remain to be only a few degrees cooler than what we experienced throughout the day.
Tomorrow will be much warmer, with highs reaching the mid-70s, but we will continue to see this wet pattern stick around.
That said, most of the moisture will come in the afternoon, and have hit-or-miss showers and storms throughout the evening.
Even as we head into Monday and the coming days, rain will be in the forecast.
For Monday in particular, the Weather Prediction Center has put out a marginal risk of seeing excessive rainfall; this means that isolated flooding is possible due to the rainfall rates that will occur.
Saturday Morning:
A low-pressure system is spreading widespread rain across much of the East Coast Today. Periods of steady rain and scattered showers will continue through the afternoon and evening.
The heaviest rainfall is to be expected from parts of Texas into lower Mississippi Valley. Though we are expecting to see a decent amount of rainfall within our region which should help alleviate some of the pressure from the ongoing drought.
Cloud cover and rainfall are keeping temperatures cool today, with highs mainly in the upper 50s to mid 60s across the region. Expect a chilly, damp feel through the afternoon before temperatures fall back into the 50s tonight.
The hourly outlook shows temperatures holding steady in the upper 50s through midday before nudging into the 60s by later afternoon. Clouds will dominate, keeping conditions cool and seasonably below average as temperatures bar off at around 62 degrees.
By Memorial Day, we will return back into the 80s for our high temperatures. Those warm temperatures will linger on throughout the week, as well as the scattered showers.
