Now
Today was nearly perfect!  Highs in the 70s, sunshine, and light winds.  It just doesn't get much better than that!  Things are not only going to heat up over the next few days, but it's going moisten up as well.  Added humidity always increases our chances for thunderstorms this time of the year and that's going to be the case starting tomorrow.  Right now it looks as though showers and thunderstorms will start early in the day, taper off, and then re-develop Thursday night.  It appears as though it'll get hot and humid Friday and early Saturday before stronger storms develop late Saturday and Saturday night.  Sunday might be wet to start, but now it looks dry and cooler Sunday afternoon.
 
The Outlook
Remember how wet the month started?  We could get back into a similar pattern next week.  It looks like it'll start out warm and humid Monday and Tuesday, with showers and thunderstorms developing Wednesday and then sticking around through the end of the week at least.  The Memorial Day weekend might start out a little stormy Saturday, but it should dry out and gradually warm up again Sunday and Memorial Day.  There's still plenty of time for this to change so please check back for updates.

The winds should be southeasterly at 5 mph tonight and southeasterly at 5-15 mph on Thursday.
