While none of the thunderstorms yesterday and last night became severe in nature there certain was plenty of lightning and rain. In fact, there was enough rain in some locations for localized flooding. The area will continue to experience the occasional shower (possibly with a rumble of thunder) today as the low pressure system and cold front sluggishly move off to the east. Gray skies, cooler temperatures and windy conditions will be with us as well today, so not the best day to usher in the Memorial Day weekend. As we move into the weekend itself there will still be a few lingering showers early in the day on Saturday and the weekend as a whole will be on the cool side of average (especially with the wind), but we will see improvements. What that means is as the long holiday weekend progresses the showers will escape us, the clouds will continue to break offering more sunshine during the day and the temperatures will return to normal for this time of year, which means low and mid 70s. So Memorial Day on Monday will easily be the best day of the weekend.
