Looking Like a Nice Rain for Sunday NIght & Early Monday

Our fabulous stretch of comfortable cooler weather continued on Saturday with the afternoon high reaching the upper 70s under sunny blue skies along with light northerly winds. It will start out mostly clear early tonight, but skies will quickly become partly cloudy tonight. Most of those clouds will be high thin cirrus between 20,000 and 25,000 feet. Stars will be visible through the clouds from time to time. These clouds are forerunners of a weatther system that will move across the Stateline on Sunday night and Monday with the potential for some nice rainfall totals between 0.50" and 1.50".  It will be cool overnight with a low in the low to middle 50's. Sun will filter through the clouds in the morning, but there enough energy getting through to push the temperatures into the upper 70's again in the afternoon. The weather system approaching from the west could bring some widely scattered light rain showers to the area in the afternoon, but the real action will hold off until Sunday night which will be cloudy, and rainy with the potential for a few thundertorms.  There will be little or no wind early on Sunday night, but southerly winds will develop across the area and blow around 10 mph.  The low will be near 60 degrees.  Rain will linger into Monday with the most significant rains in the morning hours.  It will be relatively cool under the clouds with an afternoon high around 74 degrees.
