Friday & Saturday: Cool, dry, and breezy, ideal for outdoor plans. Sunday: Increasing clouds with a chance for late-day showers. Memorial Day: Scattered showers likely, but not a total washout. Warmer. Cooler, drier air will settle in. Gusty northwest winds will linger once again, especially across higher elevations along and west of the Blue Ridge. While temperatures will top out in the 60s and low 70s, the breeze will make it feel even cooler.
