FLORIDA — Depending on what you’ve got going on for the upcoming three-day Memorial Day Weekend, long regarded as the unofficial start to summer, you may have to plan around weather conditions in Florida.

Some parts of the country will continue to dodge storms and others will be hot and sweltering, the private weather company AccuWeather said Monday in its Memorial Day weekend forecast.

The forecast calls for a mostly sunny and hot day Friday in Tampa with a high of 96 degrees, tying the record-high temperature from 2012. At night, it will be partly cloudy and humid with a low of 74.

Saturday will see a shower in the Tampa area in the morning, otherwise it will be partly sunny and hot with a high of 95, AccuWeather said. Saturday night will be clear and humid with a low of 74 degrees.

Some 43.8 million Americans are expected to travel to celebrate Memorial Day. Here’s a look at what they can expect, according to AccuWeather:

Sections of the central U.S. pummeled by strong storms and rain probably won’t get much of a break, according to the AccuWeather forecasters. Travel could be affected by the heavy rains associated with these storms, which have a history of producing strong winds, hail and flooding.

“While each day will not be a washout everywhere, and some locations will be fortunate enough to miss thunderstorm activity Saturday through Monday, there will be areas that get doused on more than one occasion across the Plains states,” AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Renee Duff said in the forecast.

The Upper Mississippi Valley, the Great Lakes could see showers and thunderstorms throughout the weekend, with the storms moving into the Northeast and Southeast by Monday and potentially disrupting memorial services and outdoor cookouts.

Temperatures should be fairly pleasant in mid-Atlantic states, with highs in the 80s, 70s and even 60s at some points during the holiday weekend.

Locations from the Gulf Coast to the Desert Southwest are expected to see temperatures in the 90s or even higher in some parts of Texas.
