Heat, Humidity, Storms Spread Across Pacific Northwest Weekend

Across multiple regions in the U.S., the upcoming Memorial Day weekend is expected to be marked by hot and humid conditions, with temperatures frequently reaching the 90s and heat index values topping 100. In Shreveport, Louisiana, a cold front will approach Sunday, bringing scattered storms and heavy rain into early next week, while temperatures drop to the low to mid 80s. Similarly, the Lower Columbia Basin anticipates its first 90-degree day of the year on Sunday, accompanied by gusty winds and a slight chance of thunderstorms later that day as a cold front moves in overnight, cooling temperatures by Monday. Corpus Christi, Texas, will experience highs in the upper 80s to lower 90s with windy, humid conditions but no rain during the holiday weekend. Outdoor plans should consider the potential for storms and heavy rain particularly in Louisiana and parts of the Pacific Northwest, while most areas will contend with oppressive heat and humidity.
