Memorial Day is a United States federal holiday which occurs every year on the final Monday of May. Memorial Day is a day of remembering the men and women who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces.

By the 20th century Memorial Day had been extended to honor all Americans who have died while in the military service. It typically marks the start of the summer vacation season, while Labor Day marks its end.


So what is the weather forecast here at the Lake of the Ozarks this weekend?

Today Thurdsay May 23rd it is partly cloudy with highs in the upper 60's and a low tonight in the upper 40's.
