SUMMARY: Mother’s Day weekend started beautifully with pleasant weather, perfect for outdoor events and graduations. Mother’s Day itself will remain nice with warm temperatures around 81°F and a mix of sun and clouds. However, rain returns on Monday and Tuesday due to a Gulf low bringing scattered showers and storms, including the potential for intense downpours and localized flash flooding. No severe weather is expected, but heavy rain will impact Monday’s morning commute and continue intermittently through Tuesday. The system will move out by Tuesday night, leading to drier and warmer weather midweek with highs reaching the upper 80s by Thursday and Friday.
