Temperatures will hit the mid to upper 80s over the Memorial Day weekend, making it a great time to scope out the best spots to swim or wade all summer. The Tri-Cities has beaches aplenty along the Columbia and Snake rivers. Some are well known, like Leslie Groves Park in Richland, while others are more remote, like Hood Park in Burbank or Crow Butte Park west of Paterson. They're all worthy picnic destinations on a sunny spring day, but consider staying on dry land until it is safer to swim when water temperatures heat up and high water levels recede.
