A Mild Week Ahead

Skies are starting to clear up across the Stateline as we have drier air flowing into our area.  We had some lingering, thick cloud cover this morning after the front moved out, mainly because our dewpoint temperatures were still fairly high.  Luckily, this dry inflow will lower our humidity and cloud cover going into the afternoon, as well as keep our temperatures a little cooler in the upper 70°s for our high.

That dry inflow will clear our skies for the overnight, where we'll cool down to the low 50°s.  The dry inflow will last the entire week, keeping the skies mostly sunny and allowing for temperatures to stay in the 70°s, and our humidity to stay low.  We'll dip down to the low 70°s going into Thursday and Friday, but we'll start warming back up as we go into the weekend, hitting the low 80°s by Sunday.

 The reason for this cooling trend is because a high pressure system is going to gradually move towards our area as we progress through the week.  During that time, the high will keep pulling in cooler air into our area, before we hit our coolest temperatures this week in the mid 70°s for Thursday and Friday.  Once we get into the weekend, that high will track east, so it won't be able to pull in as much cool air.  Because of that, we'll start warming back up a little bit during the weekend.
