Meteorologist Joe Lundberg

Joe Lundberg, an AccuWeather meteorologist, discussed the recent weather patterns, noting that it has been 11 weeks since a weekend without rain. He predicted that the upcoming weekend would likely see rain, especially in the Ohio Valley and mid-Atlantic. Lundberg forecasted three consecutive dry days—Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday—but warned of potential rain over the weekend. He mentioned that May saw almost seven inches of rain, well above normal, and that the upper-level pattern favors cooler, wetter conditions. Lundberg acknowledged the challenges of his job, especially when forecasts disrupt weekend plans.
