Synopsis:
Memorial Day will be memorable. A refreshing airmass will be with us courtesy of high pressure over the Northeast. Abundant sunshine with readings around 80º can be excepted.
For those hitting the beach please don’t forget to slather on the sunscreen. The UV index is a very high 9. If you are fair skinned you will burn within 15 minutes without protection. I wouldn’t stick my big toe in the ocean as the water temperatures are only in the 50s.
The back to work and school forecast will be much cooler with scattered showers and storms as a system moves in from the West. The remainder of the week will be fairly decent. A stationary front will be nearby. When it slips to the North it will be quite warm and when it slips to the South readings will be comfortable. When this transition happens a spotty pm shower or storm cannot be ruled out on Wednesday and Thursday. By no means will it be a washout.
Have a safe, happy Holiday!
Keep it here for a no nonsense, no hype forecast.
Stay tuned.
