“The outlook for Memorial Day calls for milder temperatures and dry weather. Conditions will slowly improve through the holiday weekend, although scattered showers are expected today and Saturday,” the National Weather Service reported Friday.

As the nor'easter departs skies will be slow to clear. After morning rain on Friday expect just a few showers on Friday afternoon. There may still be a spot shower on Saturday. Sunday and Monday look dry with a mix of clouds and sunshine. pic.twitter.com/0JXfe2oGjT

Soggy, chilly start…but the heaviest rain is done. Expect gradual improvement, day by day, through the holiday weekend. Memorial Day the pick: https://t.co/rPqBHm567w pic.twitter.com/hXrm1YcODn
