Memorial Day will be muggy and very warm with highs in the mid 80s. Some scattered showers and storms will be possible in the morning, with another batch of scattered storms potentially developing during the afternoon and evening. Re-development will depend on the impact of any morning storms and if we get break of sunshine to increase instability in the atmosphere. The storms that develop in the afternoon and evening could become severe, with damaging wind gusts and large hail. Any shower or storm that occurs between now and Monday night will produce heavy rainfall. Slow-moving storms could cause poor-drainage flooding. As of now, we are under a slight risk (level 2 out of 5) for severe weather. There is also the possibility of a few tornadoes, so please be weather aware.
