Memorial Day Weather Outlook

May 30, 2021
By WeatherBug Meteorologist, Andrew Rosenthal
Much of the U.S. will see a return to quieter weather for Memorial Day, while it will remain a bit on the stormy side across the southern Plains, Northeast and Florida.
 
The majority of the unsettled weather will be found from the Front Range in the southern Rockies into the southern and central Plains. Here, a passing upper-level disturbance will be the trigger for a few showers and thunderstorms on Monday, capable of producing heavy rain and hail. Temperatures will top out in the 50s and 60s across Colorado and Kansas, with 70s and 80s expected along the periphery of the storm from New Mexico to Texas and Missouri.
 
New England will see more in the way of showers during the morning hours as a pesky storm system departs into Canada before the clouds finally break by afternoon. Temperatures will remain on the cool side with plenty of 50s and 60s.
 
A few afternoon showers and thunderstorms are likely across Florida as the end of May brings in a summer-like pattern to the Sunshine State. Temperatures will zoom upward before the storms, reaching the 80s to lower 90s.
 
Otherwise, the West Coast, Northern Plains, Mississippi, Ohio and Tennessee valleys, and Eastern Seaboard will enjoy plenty of sunshine for the Memorial Day holiday. Temperatures will largely be in the 70s and 80s across the Northern Tier and Mid-Atlantic, with 80s, 90s and triple-digit heat expected from the interior West and California to the Southeast.
