A typical summery pattern – a warming trend in parts of the East and West and stormy conditions in the Plains, Midwest and South – is expected on Memorial Day.
A low-pressure system will not make much eastward progress on Memorial Day. The Plains, Midwest and South will once again have a chance for rain and thunderstorms.
For many, this will not be an all-day rain, but rather scattered, on-and-off showers and thunderstorms.
There is the potential for locally heavy rainfall and flooding, especially in parts of the Southern Plains.
South Florida could have more heavy rain and possible flash flooding as well.

The Northeast will have mainly dry conditions, as will most of the West, with the exception of a few showers in parts of the Pacific Northwest.
Monday's ForecastHoliday Weekend Warmup
Much of the Midwest and East has warmed up over this holiday weekend.
On Monday, highs in the 80s may stretch as far north as northern Michigan. A few upper 80s are possible from the Ohio Valley into western Pennsylvania and West Virginia. These highs may flirt with daily records in a few places.
Heat and humidity will also build in the South, where highs in the upper 80s or lower 90s are expected from the Tennessee Valley to Louisiana. The aforementioned increased chance of thunderstorms will keep a lid on the heat in the Southern Plains, particularly in Texas.
In the West, heat will build along the West Coast, with temperatures in California's Central Valley soaring well into the 90s, possibly pushing 100 degrees on Memorial Day.
