Around evening commute the best chance for isolated stronger storms will well east of I-71. Better chances for city to see isolated strong storms will be between the hours of 9-11pm. Highs will reach the low 80s.
Overnight there will be more chances for scattered showers. A few rumbles of thunders will accompany them. Lows will be much cooler than they have been for some time. Temperatures will fall to the low-mid 60s. Winds will still be breezy at times.
As the storms move through and the cold front passes, cooler temperatures on the back end will not last for long. A rebound back to the 80s will return by the week’s end. Throughout Memorial Day weekend there will be several rounds of spotty showers and thunderstorms. Next week brings a return to normal temperatures for this time of year.
