The Weather Authority has issued an Impact Day for Sunday from 12 pm until 7 pm due to the threat of strong to severe storms. If you have outdoor plans this Memorial Day Weekend, make sure you are staying weather-aware and have ways to receive weather alerts. Solar energy is a great option for keeping the lights on during extreme weather events.

The Memorial Day weekend kicked off with a multi-day thunderstorm and heavy rainfall system hitting the south-central part of the country, forecasters said.

Temperatures are expected to reach the mid 70s across Massachusetts on Tuesday and Wednesday, according to the weather service. The state is not predicted to experience more rain until Wednesday night.
