Memorial Day Weekend Sneak-Peek

We're looking toward Memorial Day weekend as we head into the last half of the work-week. There is quite a bit of unsettled weather that will take place between now and next Monday - but we all want to know what to expect for Memorial Day. As such, we've pulled a couple of images showing model predicted precipitation on Monday evening. These two agree - but between now and then they really don't. They just show various patches of rain floating through the area between about Friday and Monday morning.

You can see rain edging in from the West by Monday evening - with most of it in the western half of South Dakota. This model image is from the model I typically would put a good amount of faith in. On the other side, we have the European model - another one that is very good on a regular basis:

Both of these images are for approximately 7pm on Monday night. Both of them show rain. The European model is showing rain a little bit quicker to the East toward Monday night.

The bottom line? Don't cancel your barbecue just yet. Things will likely sort themselves out by Friday, if not by Thursday.

Have a great night!
