Memorial Day is one of the busiest travel days nationwide, and weather can be a headache for travelers.
This Memorial Day weekend, the general pattern keeps showers and thunderstorms across the plains into the southeast. However, the highest severe risk is across Oklahoma and Kansas Friday through Sunday.
The weather is easygoing on the West Coast. In the interior northwest, there is a chance for rain and snow showers in the Montana and Wyoming mountain ranges.
Texas will remain hot and humid as rain chances stay mainly to the north ahead of a cold front.
Rain chances gradually increase as the cold front tries to push south, but the jury is still unsure whether it will reach SE Texas. The cold front and parent low pressure will bring storm chances into the southeast Sunday through next week.
The Northeast has a low-pressure system spinning cool, breezy, and rainy days into New England, Pennsylvania, and New York. New England is holding on to the dreary weather through at least Saturday. By Memorial Day, temperatures rise as the low pressure exits; instead of the 50s and 60s, temperatures warm to the upper 60s to mid-70s.
Temperatures remain hot across the the Southwest into Southeastern United States.
