Saturday and most of Sunday will be beautiful to kick off the holiday weekend. It will be a little cool, but comfortable. Meteorologists track when rain will return.

Memorial Day trends drier, rain soon to return to the forecast

I'm meteorologist Kat Campbell. It's cooler out there tonight. Some of you may even want a jacket. Lowe's dip back into the upper 40s to lower 50s overnight. Looking ahead, Memorial Day weekend is trending a bit drier 77 Saturday, 78 Sunday. No worries about rain Saturday. By Sunday, we will have a couple of opportunities for a few showers. Monday trending a little drier with the rain chance at 30% and that may actually be in the morning. Let's take a look at our high resolution model data that now goes out through Monday morning. Saturday, beautiful, dry, low humidity definitely makes some outdoor plans. By Saturday night, the mountains could see some showers, and with this front stalled closer to South Carolina, our southern cities. Could wake up to a little bit of rain early on Sunday, and that will try to lift to the north as we head into Sunday evening. The Futurecast at this point has it kind of fizzling out. Overnight still looks like the best chance for rain and maybe a rumble of thunder. This is 8:00 a.m. Monday morning as far out as our high resolution Futurecast goes, but we should see some drier weather move in after this round of rain.
