After weeks of heat and humidity, and periods of showers, and occasional severe thunderstorms, the Stateline is enjoying some absolutely fabulous weather for this time of year. Temperatures are cooler, the humidity is much more comfortable, and the rain has stopped for the time being. Enjoy this interlude while it lasts because you know that the heat and humidity will return before too long, and so will the threat of more thunderstorms.
Why is the weather so nice right now? Well, we have a ridge of high pressure from Canada reaching right down across the Stateline. Skies will be sunny to mostly sunny under the influence of this ridge through Saturday. It will be comfortable today, and cool again tonight, but temperatures will slowly warm a little each day, and by the time the weekend arrives, it will be back up in the upper 80's again. Humidity levels will increase, and become uncomfortable by Sunday, the 4th of July, and scattered thunderstorms will be possible later in the day. A front will stall out over Minnesota and Wisconsin on Sunday, and lift back to the north on Monday. With a rich flow of tropical moisture, there will be continuing chances of thunderstorms through Monday night or early Tuesday when a new cool front will push the warm and muggy air off to the east.
