What May feels like
Memorial Day weekend means the Coca-Cola 600 out at Concord, the longest race on the calendar, with a full week of buildup beforehand. Crepe myrtles start in late May and the evenings stay comfortable enough to sit outside without a fan.
Expect about 6 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. Humidity stays comfortable; the air never feels heavy.
