TUESDAY MAY 17 MORNING WEATHER BRIEFING
GOOD TUESDAY MORNING,
A little bit of rain early this morning and this "piddling" rain can be around at just about any point today. Current radar (8:30am):
Hi-res simulated radar for next 15 hours:
Any rain will be quite light.Temperatures will struggle today; around 60 or so this afternoon.
BETTER DAYS AHEAD
An area of high pressure will drift eastward tomorrow through Friday, giving us nice weather with a warming trend. Friday's afternoon temperatures should be in the mid 70s. Let's play hooky! 
That moisture on the Friday map will head our way late Friday night.
WHAT ABOUT THE WEEKEND??
I get lots of questions about weekend weather at this time of the year...outdoor events of all shapes and sizes occur in May. I wasn't Mr. Popularity during last weekend...will my stock go up this weekend?? Yes and no.The good news: it will NOT be as crummy as last weekend. The bad: Some rain is likely Saturday, especially in the morning.
I SUSPECT we can salvage Saturday afternoon with not much more than a passing shower. Cool-ish Saturday with highs probably in the 60s.Sunday will be a nicer day with seasonable temperatures and (probably) dry weather. Only a small (20%) chance for a shower.
LONG RANGE
We've been talking about more consistent warmth coming our way for the final third of May for a while now and that idea still looks good.
2 DEGREE GUARANTEE
We've righted the ship after a very sketchy period to start May.
