Past Memorial Days

Delmarva saw a beautiful Memorial Day weekend with sunny skies and highs in the upper 70s to lower 80s. The official high in Salisbury, Md. was 81 degrees. Looking back on past Memorial Days, I feel like I remember a lot of wet weekends, so I was curious to see when Salisbury last saw a wet Memorial Day. Surprisingly you have to go all the way back to 2004 for rain, and last Memorial Day was much warmer! Here is a look at the weather for the past five Memorial Days.

Memorial Day 2007: Sunny/High: 89 degrees
Memorial Day 2006: Haze and Fog/High: 86 degrees
Memorial Day 2005: Haze and Fog/High: 79 degrees
Memorial Day 2004: Rain/High: 76 degrees
Memorial Day 2003: Rain/High: 64 degrees

Depending on the type of weather you prefer, maybe better beach weather last Memorial Day, but at least we weren't wet and in the 60s like we were in 2003!
