Don't Shoot The Messenger

Well...the long weekend is almost upon us. The first long weekend of the season and, for many, the unofficial start of the summer. When it comes to the May long weekend the weather can be a touchy subject. Everybody wants Mother Nature to schedule the rain during the work week and the sunshine for the weekend. Well that ain't gonna happen...at least not this long weekend.

Now keep in mind that it is only Wednesday and, when it comes to weather, there is still plenty of time for a change...so take this with a grain of salt. Looking at the latest forecast models though (you can see the latest NAM run above) that low southwest of us looks to be right on our doorstep Friday which will likely mean showers for Saturday and even Sunday. So what is my predicition? Looking at the latest data I think we may still see a dry (and hopefully sunny) start to Saturday with showers arriving later in the day and wet weather through to Sunday morning. There's a good chance things will clear into Sunday afternoon and Monday looks very promising. That's looking at the current data and I do expect changes (hopefully for the better) over the next couple of days as more data comes in. I'll keep you updated here on the blog, on Twitter and on Newswatch. Oh and remember, I'm only involved in marketing...Mother Nature handles production.
