Warm with shower chances for Memorial Day and beyond

The first part of this weekend has been great, but the quiet pattern is coming to an end. Humidity and storms return to 5COUNTRY by Monday and Tuesday.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — The warm air is not going anywhere for Memorial Day, but gather your goodbyes for the drier conditions. Heading into the back half of your Monday, humidity and rain chances will slowly creep up and will be in full effect by Tuesday.

MEMORIAL DAY OUTLOOK

Monday, for the majority of us, will be dry and warm with partly cloudy skies. But, as more humidity moves in, a few pop-up storms from Oklahoma could survive into Arkansas. If you have outdoor plans on the lake or grilling with the family, keep an eye on the skies and the radar.
