It's been cool, and even downright chilly in spots so far this weekend, but we'll gradually see some improvements through Monday. Highs will approach 70 degrees Sunday, and the mid-70s for some on Monday. But what a difference a year makes! Just last year the three-day Memorial Day holiday weekend began with sunshine and highs in the upper 80s. So, what's causing the less than perfect weekend weather?

Once again, you will need the umbrella and coat with you on Friday in the Philadelphia region. Scattered showers are possible during the morning and evening commutes, but there is no flooding threat. Sunglasses will be optional with mostly cloudy skies. The highs will continue to run below average in the low to mid-60s. Our normal high on Friday is 76, and it goes without saying we will be nowhere near the record high of 96 set in 1941.

The unofficial start to summer is finally upon us, and a record number of us will be heading out to enjoy the three-day Memorial Day Weekend. So, will you need umbrellas, sunglasses, or a combination of both? Technically, we are still in spring. Meteorological summer begins June 1, and astrological summer starts on Friday, June 20, at 10:42 p.m. in Philadelphia. This year's holiday weekend is on the early side and falls on May 24, 25 and 26.

PM showers developing Thursday; widespread rounds of rain in Philadelphia area Friday Sunday is Mother's Day, one of the most cherished holidays of the year and a chance to show appreciation for the sacrifice, care, love, protection and guidance by mothers for their children. More than 150 countries celebrate Mother's Day, including the United States, where President Woodrow Wilson declared the first Mother's Day on May 9, 1914.

May is the final month of meteorological spring — and a month known for flowers, Mother's Day and the unofficial start to summer, Memorial Day. However, if the past 30 years are any indication, we can expect some wild swings in the temperatures, rainfall and severe storm days in May. Our warmest day in May was two consecutive days in 1991, when the high temperature reached 97 degrees on May 30 and 31. Our coldest night was May 11, 1966, when the temperature dropped to 28 degrees.
