This Memorial Day weekend, it might be good to have backup plans.

"We always have to fight for a nice Memorial Day weekend," meteorologist Randy Mann said Friday. "I'd have a plan A and a plan B."

Mann said the weather will be partly cloudy with breaks of sun, temperatures in the 60s and scattered showers Saturday and Sunday.

On Memorial Day, temperatures will be in the mid- to upper-60s with a high around 70 degrees, but expect more rain showers with mostly overcast skies.

"I wouldn't put the barbecues away," Mann said. "But it's not going to be the warmest weekend."

Mann said rain showers and even isolated thunderstorms are more likely over the mountains Sunday into Monday, but the sunshine will be back Tuesday and with it will come warmer weather.

"Toward the end of the week it will be into the 80s," he said. "It's going to get nice."

But for Memorial Day campers and barbecuers, don't forget to have some rain gear and warm sweatshirts handy.
