Discussion
High pressure over the southeastern part of Canada continues to influence our weather by producing an easterly flow of air and that’ll keep us on the cool side of normal for another day. An upper-level low pressure system that has been meandering over the Tennessee Valley during the past few days will finally get kicked out to the east by tomorrow – albeit in a weakened form – and this system will produce an enhanced risk of showers here from tomorrow into Saturday. The holiday weekend will get off to that shaky start on Saturday with clouds and the threat of showers, but there should be improvement in the weather on Sunday and Monday (Memorial Day).
