UPDATE FROM CHRIS MICHAELS

Stormy before Memorial Day weekend - CM ⚡️

WEDNESDAY

The wedge holds on tightly, keeping us locked in with clouds and unseasonably cool air. Occasionally, especially during the morning and nighttime hours, we'll see some patches of fog, mist and drizzle. That could get thick at times heading into Thursday morning, while temperatures drop into the 50s.

THURSDAY AND FRIDAY

We're tracking a storm system that will slowly be moving into the Eastern U.S. We start Thursday with fog but eventually reach a point where temperatures can reach the 70s.

We're dry most of the day with rain/storms (especially west of US 220) at night into Friday morning.

We stand the chance for localized flooding on our newly-waterlogged ground.

After a line of rain/storms Friday morning, we'll watch for re-development of strong to severe storms Friday afternoon and evening too.

MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND

This storm moves east, lowering rain chances. High pressure comes in behind it and strengthens over the Eastern U.S. This will lead to gradual warming/heating through Memorial Day and next week.
