Patrick Rockey’s Live VIPIR Forecast
The holiday weekend will look and feel nothing like the work week. Much of the week was cloudy, wet and warm. We expect plenty of sunshine and milder conditions through Memorial Day.
The strong cold front that sparked showers and storms on Thursday and Friday will move away from the region, ushering in a cooler and dry Canadian air mass. That means clearing skies and falling temperatures. Many of us will make up to near-record low temperatures on Saturday morning, in the 40s. It'll be a breezy and sunny day, allowing temperatures to climb back into the upper 60s and lower 70s.
The winds will diminish quite a bit on Sunday and temperatures will warm into the low-to-mid 70s under mostly sunny skies.
We'll tack on a few more degrees on Memorial Day, with highs in the middle 70s.
Then we start a warning trend through the shortened work week, peaking in the mid 80s on Thursday and Friday. The week is looking mainly dry, with an isolated storm possible on Tuesday.
