A long weekend awaits while we struggle through another long workweek. Yes, memorial day is already closing in, a day that signifies the un-official start to summer and a day to remember those who fell serving our great nation. So, what will the weather be like for all those barbecues, beaches, pools, and other outdoor activities that will be taking place during this 3 day weekend? Well, the ridge of high pressure that has been bringing a dry heat to the west over the last few days will continue to slide east, and should keep the eastern third of the country dry and will bring moderating temps. A trough will be digging into the west to start this weekend, but it will slide east into the central US, continuing the warmth and humidity in the Planes but also bringing a growing rain threat to the central US, which will start to slowly spread towards the east on Monday. In the west, the trough will exit by Monday, but on Saturday and Sunday some cool and possibly showery conditions will persist in the west, especially in the Rocky Mountains. By Monday things should dry out pretty nicely in the west and temps will return to near normal. Many more details coming up this week for the holiday weekend.
