On Saturday, expect occasional showers and chilly temps. Highs will only reach the mid-50s.

Sunday has an 80% chance of periodic showers with temps in the 50s. However, showers could taper off in the afternoon, becoming isolated by Sunday night, Storm Team4 says.
Memorial Day weekend is considered the unofficial start of summer to many, and at least Monday should bring more seasonably nice weather.
Highs will reach the 70s amid light winds and plenty of sunshine, great weather for a cookout or hike.
Tuesday is forecast to stay mild and sunny, then there are rain chances Wednesday through Saturday of next week.
