Hot and Muggy Tomorrow and What to Expect For the Eclipse

We saw some pretty dense fog this morning across the Stateline area. The reason being we had some moisture flowing through our area last night, and along with that we had clear skies.  This allowed temperatures to cool down rapidly, while dew point temperatures crept up.  This is already a recipe for dense fog development.  Along with that, winds were very slow this morning, so we had nothing to push the fog out of our area.

Luckily, we had the sun, and it evaporated that fog quickly once it came up a little more.  Sadly, that moisture inflow will continue through the afternoon, keeping it fairly muggy.  Clouds will build up as a result, but will die down later this afternoon when a high pressure influence starts to sink towards our area.  This will push some cooler air into our area as the clouds die down, keeping temperatures in the low 80°s.

That high will sink down closer to us during the overnight, clearing the skies and allowing for temperatures to be more mild in the low 60°s.  A low pressure system out west will approach tomorrow, bringing us a slight chance for storms during the afternoon, but a better storm chance during the evening.  Highs will be in the mid 80°s, with dew point temperatures in the low to mid 70°s.  This will allow for heat index values to be anywhere from the low to mid 90°s, so take precaution if you plan on going outside tomorrow and stay hydrated.  The low will bring in a warm front around 9-10pm, which will keep rain lingering during the overnight.

A cold front will move in early Thursday morning around 7-8am, so we could see a few showers and thunderstorms around that time, but the storms won't be severe.  The front will move around after 1pm, where we'll stay dry the rest of the day with temperatures in the low 80°s.  Dry weather continues through Friday, with temperatures in the upper 70°s to low 80°s.  However, low pressure influence will bring us a storm chance going into the weekend on Saturday.

High pressure influence sinks in on Sunday, keeping us dry.  However, another low moves in on Monday, increasing cloud cover and bringing rain chances late at night.  This may sound like bad news for those wanting to see the eclipse, but don't get discouraged yet.  A lot has been changing weather-wise in a short period of time, so we very well could see some big changes for the better for Monday in the next few days.
