WEEKEND POINT-AND-CLICK FOLLIES

1. See previous video on upcoming weekend's meager rain chances (best chances Saturday early morning, then late afternoon/evening). Sunday looks warm and dry, but the point-and-click forecasts will lead people astray.

2. Monday is another mainly dry day, but noticeably cooler as the winds shift from off of the cool Atlantic Ocean.

WPC: 5-day rainfall totals should average 0.50

3. Another shot at showers and storms comes in Tuesday afternoon (see previous video). Drying for mid-week, but look for a cool start to Memorial Day weekend (Thursday/Friday with highs in the 60s) before it warms up into the 70s for highs.

A MOTHER'S DAY DELIGHT

1. After another pleasant day Friday, a southeast wind flow will take over for the duration of the weekend. This will keep temps down into the 70s for highs close to the coast, with upper 70s elsewhere. Morning fog and drizzle will develop overnight Friday and overnight Saturday in most areas.

3. Increase in showers and storms will take place Monday, but really ramp up to a widespread chance for Tuesday and Tuesday night as a cold front works through.  Thunderstorms also possible in most places, particularly inland. Temps remain in the 70s.

THIS WEEK'S WEATHER HIGHLIGHTS

1. Scattered Showers Monday, especially east of NYC. Stubborn storm system to our north is the culprit, sending pieces of weak energy through the region. Aforementioned storm system begins to pull further north Tuesday and Wednesday into the North Atlantic, setting the stage for dry conditions after Monday, with increased warming during the day.

2.  Coastal storm develops to our south, but it appears to only graze the area on Thursday with some showers in the afternoon. Areas south of NYC look to stand the best chance at any measurable rainfall.

3. Pleasant weekend ahead, with temps in the mid-to-upper 60s. Strong signs in the long term suggest major warmth develops by mid-to-late next week over much of the eastern U.S.

A MONDAY SOAKER, THEN A SPRING SETBACK FOR LATE WEEK

1. After a nice Sunday, rain arrives overnight. Steadiest, heaviest rains end by early afternoon, but more showers and even a thunderstorm creep in by Monday evening. Leftover showers on Tuesday, but very widely scattered as opposed to the widespread nature of the rainfall on Monday.

2. Dry Tuesday night through Wednesday morning. Scattered showers will advance into and through the region on Wednesday afternoon and night, but not a soaking rainfall.

3. Thursday through early next week should be dry, but the temps will struggle to attain near the average levels for this time of year for highs (in the 50s).  Chilly nights, with temps mainly in the upper 30s to low 40s Thursday night through Saturday night.  Look for another heavy rainmaker to come close to, or over the region for the week of the 27th.
