A dry, sunny and warm day is on the way Thursday.

Right now, the Memorial Day Weekend looks to kick off with showers and scattered storms on Friday that linger into Saturday. Temperatures will drop from the mid-70s on Friday to the mid-60s on Saturday!

The sun returns on Sunday and Monday with temperatures warming into the upper 70s by Memorial Day.
