Inside the "Washing Machine": Cold Front Flips the Holiday Weekend Script

A cold front brings scattered severe storms and heavy rain tonight (mainly south of I-64). Memorial Day weekend will be damp, cool, and highly unsettled as a "wedge" of chilly marine air locks in for Friday and Saturday, keeping temperatures in the 60s for many.
