Up Next: The rain is not going anywhere all the way through this Memorial Day weekend. Moisture in our atmosphere will stay very high as upper-level disturbances continue to swing through. This will cause numerous showers and storms on a daily basis. Most of this activity will be confined to the afternoon and evening, but overnight rounds are still possible. 3-6" of rain is expected through early next week. Some localized locations could see even higher totals.
The main commute affected will be the PM commute, so be very careful on the roadways. Ponding on the roads will be possible, which could lead to hydroplaning if driving too fast. If you have outdoor plans this Memorial Day weekend, do not cancel just about yet. Make sure you have an indoor backup option ready just in case!
Because of all the clouds and rain, highs will only top out in the low to mid-80s over the next 7 days. Lows will be quite muggy, in the lower 70s.
