Rain was commonplace for a lot of the region on Sunday, though the steadier and heavier precipitation favored southeastern Kentucky and southern West Virginia.
The “unofficial” start to summer is here, although it may not feel all that summery this holiday weekend. A low pressure system swirling off the southeast Atlantic Coast and bringing an absolute washout on Saturday to beachgoers in the Carolinas, including Myrtle Beach, will meander onshore and get close enough to impact the weather locally with clouds, occasional showers, and cooler temperatures by Sunday. Showers become more scattered on Memorial Day itself, so activities like the Ironton Parade should end up mostly dry. Then, as the remainder of the upcoming week stays dry, temperatures really begin to heat up into the first few days of June.
