Plans of outdoor picnics and barbecues may have to be placed on the back burner this Memorial Day weekend as weather forecasts predict scattered thunderstorms in the Washington area.

Saturday 

On Saturday, thunderstorms are predicted to hit the area in the afternoon, but there is still a chance of a morning shower or storm. The temperature is predicted to be in the low-to-mid 80s thanks to partial and filtered sunshine but could fall to the mid-to-upper 70s once clouds and rainstorms take over.
