Storm Threat Today and Eclipse Update

We had a small line of storms that pushed north through our western counties, but other than that it's been a great start to this Wednesday!  We had mostly clear skies this morning, but clouds will increase a little more going into the afternoon with the approaching warm front.  That warm, humid inflow will bring temperatures into the mid 80°s this afternoon, with dew point temperatures in the low 70°s.  This will allow for heat index values to be in the low 90°s, so be sure to stay hydrated if you have outdoor plans this afternoon, because it will feel pretty hot.

That approaching warm front will bring us a slight storm chance out west around 1pm, but a better storm chance for our western counties around 4pm.  Everyone else will see scattered cloud cover during the afternoon, but we'll still see some sunshine.  The front moves in around 7pm, where that storm coverage will increase a little more across the Stateline area.  We are under a Marginal Risk for severe weather, but the stronger storms should stay well to our southwest where a cold front will line up. 

That front will progress through the Stateline during the evening, allowing for some heavy rain showers for the overnight, but a couple storms could linger.  The front will move out around 1am, after which we'll stay cloudy for the rest of the overnight.  A cold front will move in mid-day tomorrow around 1pm, which will bring more storms.  However, the front will move out around 4pm, and then we'll stay dry going into the weekend.

A low pressure system moves in Monday.  However, there's only a slight chance for an isolated storm during the afternoon, but other than that we'll have clear skies and dry conditions for viewing the Eclipse.
