High pressure builds into the region bringing abundant sunshine but continued cool temperatures for mid May. • High: 58–62°F | Low: 39–43°F | Wind: NW 10–15 mph • Sky: Mostly sunny • Precipitation: 0%
Noticeably cooler air arrives behind the cold front with lower humidity and a mix of sunshine and clouds. • High: 61–64°F | Low: 41–44°F | Wind: NW 10–20 mph • Sky: Partly sunny • Precipitation: 0%
Mother’s Day looks improved overall with a mix of clouds and some sunshine developing. However, enough moisture lingers in the atmosphere for an isolated afternoon shower or thunderstorm. • High: 71–74°F | Low: 54°F | Wind: SW 10–15 mph • Sky: Partly sunny • Precipitation: 30% chance isolated showers
Early indications suggest somewhat improved conditions, though an isolated shower cannot be ruled out depending on how quickly the late-week system clears. More breaks of sun are possible. • High: 68–71°F | Low: Low to mid 50s | Wind: W 8–12 mph • Sky: Partly sunny • Precipitation: 20–30% chance isolated showers
Unsettled weather may linger as the frontal system slowly exits. Some showers remain possible, though there should also be dry periods mixed in. Temperatures stay mild. • High: 70°F | Low: 55°F | Wind: W to SW 8–15 mph • Sky: Mostly cloudy • Precipitation: 40% chance showers
A frontal boundary approaches, increasing the likelihood of scattered showers and more widespread cloud cover. While not necessarily a washout, this appears to be one of the wetter days of the stretch. • High: 71°F | Low: 54°F | Wind: S to SW 10–15 mph • Sky: Mostly cloudy • Precipitation: 50–60% chance showers
Warmth persists with another day well above average, though humidity and cloud cover gradually increase. A few showers may arrive later in the day or overnight. • High: 76°F | Low: 58°F | Wind: SW 10–15 mph • Sky: Partly sunny becoming mostly cloudy • Precipitation: 30–40%
A strong southwest flow develops, pushing temperatures into the upper 70s. Breezy to windy conditions are likely, but most of the day stays dry aside from a slight late shower risk. • High: 77°F | Low: 56°F | Wind: SW 15–25 mph, gusts 30+ mph • Sky: Partly sunny • Precipitation: 20%
The weekend system pulls away, allowing drier air and increasing sunshine to return. Breezy west winds and moderating temperatures make for a much more comfortable spring day. • High: 69°F | Low: 48°F | Wind: W 10–20 mph • Sky: Partly to mostly sunny • Precipitation: 10%
