According to AccuWeather.com, an active weather pattern from the Midwest will shift to the Northeast by Monday, May 27.

That means precipitation will pose a threat to outdoor plans.

It's too early to say if the day will be a complete washout or if the showers will be intermittent.

The long weekend will start with ideal conditions on Friday, May 24, with mostly sunny skies and high temperatures in the upper 70s.

That will be followed by another day featuring abundant sunshine on Saturday, May 25.

Sunday, May 26, will start off with partly sunny skies before clouds increase in the afternoon. Scattered showers are possible during the afternoon and again at night.

There's still some uncertainty surrounding the Memorial Day outlook.
