Daily News | Wet, possibly severe, weather kicks off Memorial Day weekend, ahead of a dry and warm holiday
An expected wet start to Memorial Day weekend will give way to a drier but likely muggy holiday, forecasters say. So, don’t give up on celebrating the unofficial start to summer down the shore just yet.
The region is likely to see strong thunderstorms, and much of the Philadelphia metropolitan area has a “slight risk” of severe weather, Lee said. That could mean damaging winds, but forecasters aren’t ruling out the threat of “a brief tornado or two” in some areas. But as we get to Saturday, Sunday, and Monday — the “true three days of the holiday weekend,” as AccuWeather senior meteorologist Dave Dombek put it — we’re looking at drier, increasingly nice days to come. Saturday, Dombek said, is the only unsettled day, with the possibility of some showers and thunderstorms.
On Memorial Day itself, forecasters are calling for a mostly sunny day with an increase in temperature that could just about hit 90 degrees in Philadelphia and the surrounding area. Down the shore, though, temperatures throughout the weekend aren’t likely to break into the 80s, Dombek said.
