A wet Memorial Day weekend is in store for the East, with widespread rainfall of 1 to more than 2 inches expected from the Gulf Coast to southern New England. Well above normal temperatures are forecast to build across the northern Plains. Another round of heavy to excessive rainfall is expected to impact the western Gulf Coast this weekend with Flood Watches in effect. Read More >

The warming trend continues with high temperatures climbing to around 90 across portions of the southeast plains today. Isolated thunderstorms will be possible for the mountains and far southeast plains this afternoon. Thunderstorm chances increase for Mon-Tue. #cowx
A low pressure system will weaken as it lifts northeastward through Utah on Tuesday, ahead of another system moving into the western U.S. This will put Colorado under a brief moisture fetch, increasing thunderstorm chances for Tuesday across southern Colorado. The focus for thunderstorms will shift eastward for Wednesday into the southeast CO mountains and plains, before drier air with the next system spreads into southern Colorado. Remember when thunder roars, go indoors! #cowx
