What's Keeping Us Dry?

Well thanks to high pressure, a lot of Memorial Day weekend plans didn't get rained on at least for today! Even those showers in the South dried up for a great dry sunset on this Saturday, hope you got to get out and enjoy it!

Here's what's shaping up for the rest of the weekend, this is the outlook of one model for Sunday:
Once again it looks like showers in the south in the evening, sorry guys, you don't get a break just yet! Though the day will start off dry as that high pressure means sinking air and we're seeing northerly winds streaming drier air down to our region but there's so much moisture being pumped up from the Pacific as well as the Gulf. Basically that bullet of blue in Nebraska is where the two air masses have been meeting and will battle once again in the afternoon and evening hours. More development of a low pressure over the Rockies right now will push that energy and rain north through Saturday evening along a warm front, so Monday will bring warmer weather and drier weather for folks in the South - finally! Here's a look at what to expect around the dinner hour on Memorial day:

The warm front pushes north and we start to see a slightly more organized cold front start to push slowly across the central region of the state. This is a slow mover though, so expect a drier day in the East until the evening as the front progresses. The cold front will still produce rain showers through Tuesday and into Wednesday morning.

Enjoy the dry spots!
