Discussion
An upper-level low that was spinning over the Tennessee Valley during the past few days has finally kicked to the north and east and the result will be occasional rain here as we close out the work week and also for the beginning of the upcoming holiday weekend…maybe even a thunderstorm or two. The low pressure system will push offshore later tomorrow and better weather is likely here on Sunday and Monday (Memorial Day). In fact, high pressure that builds into the southeastern part of Canada early next week will likely result in a nice stretch of weather here from the latter part of the weekend to middle of next week.
