Extended Outlook:
The final week of May is going to be a nice one! A storm system that moves through the northern Rockies on Wednesday could bring an isolated shower or two to some areas. Otherwise, we're looking at a dry stretch of weather that should continue through the start of the Memorial Day weekend.
