Dry and warming up!



The jet stream remains across the northern tear of the U.S. this week, which is a pattern you typically see during the summer season. A pattern like this is a sign of warm and dry weather. Beginning on Wednesday, high temperatures should max out around 80 degrees.

Wet or Dry on Memorial Day Weekend?


Late in the week, high pressure will continue to do a good job of keeping Gulf moisture and storm chances away from the Ozarks. Over Memorial Day weekend, the high breaks down and storm chances start going up late on Sunday and are greatest on Memorial Day. Uncertainty with this forecast still exists. Overall, I'd plan your outdoor activities on Saturday!
