On Memorial Day weekend, you’ll have a cookout — and that’s only your feet on the sizzling sidewalk. Expect near-record heat in Miami and Fort Lauderdale and along the east coast Saturday, Sunday and on the Memorial Day holiday on Monday, according to the National Weather Service in Miami.

Storms from Thursday pushed Worcester, Massachusetts, to the 10th all-time wettest May on record. That was helped along by two record daily rainfalls, mind you. Despite all the wet weather of late, the next two days are going to dazzle and delight.
