Despite some well-needed rain/snow over the past few days, the precipitation deficit continues.  In general, brighter and warmer weather will return to the Beehive state over the next couple of days, although a stray afternoon northern mountain thundershower cannot be ruled out.  A cool front arriving later this week will kick up gusty winds for many, and northern areas will see a drop off in the temperature department.  However, above average temperatures are expected this holiday weekend with a thunderstorm possible in northern areas later Sunday or Memorial Day.  Keep your outdoor plans for now, and enjoy!
