A warm and muggy airmass is in place ahead of a strong cold front. Expect temperatures to rise into the low to mid 80s later this morning and afternoon, with some cooler readings at the beaches. If you're out and about for Memorial Day we should see dry conditions through early afternoon.
By mid-afternoon keep an eye to the sky for darkening conditions. Showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop across the region after 3 pm. Make sure to have a plan b in the event of severe weather. Any outdoor items like lawn furniture, umbrellas, or lawn ornaments should be secured or brought inside.
