It's a nice and quiet start to Memorial Day, but a few isolated showers and storms will fire up across the region later this afternoon. Otherwise, it's going to be hot and a bit more humid with temperatures climbing into the low 90s.
 
Isolated thunderstorms will begin to develop later this afternoon, but most folks will remain dry. While some communities will have to contend with a late-day downpour, any storms that do develop will weaken shortly after sunset and fade away later tonight. 
 
Another round of isolated storms will be possible once again on Tuesday, but they're going to be fairly few and far between as temperatures warm up into the upper 80s to low 90s.
 
Memorial Day: Partly cloudy with isolated afternoon thunderstorms. High: 90.
Monday night: Mostly clear to partly cloudy. Low: 70.
Tuesday: Mix of clouds with isolated afternoon thunderstorms. High: 90.
 
A weak area of high pressure will then settle over the region for the rest of the week. And although that won't get rid of the thunderstorm chances altogether, they won't be as widespread and numerous. Furthermore, temperatures will be slightly warmer with highs in the low 90s and heat indices in the mid to upper 90s.
