Depending on who you ask, there's good and bad weather news after a chilly, rainy Memorial Day weekend.
The good news is temperatures are warming up to seasonable highs of 80 degrees on Tuesday and as high as 86 by Wednesday. The bad is there's more rain on tap, and some approaching storms could be severe.
