Travel and RV Weather Extended Outlook through Thursday 1 June.

  • Slow moving upper air pattern leads to weather that changes little from day to day for any individual location.
  • Coastal storm brings rain and wind to the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic for the first part of the holiday weekend.
  • Daily chances of scattered severe thunderstorms through Monday.

Extended outlooks are more general in nature and higher level than the daily short term forecasts. Beyond a week, there is often significant uncertainty in the location and intensity of specific weather events. I will note where there is less, or greater, confidence than normal in these extended outlooks.
