Storms Today and Whether or Not We Stay Clear For the Eclipse

We've got some storms moving east through the Stateline due to a cold front.  Showers and storms are expected the rest of the morning while that front slowly pushes through, eventually moving out of our area around 1pm.  Some light rain is possible behind the front as there will be a decent amount of energy in the atmosphere, enough to generate some light rain showers for the start of the afternoon.  However, we should stay dry the closer we get to the evening.  Highs this afternoon will be around 83°.

Cool, dry inflow will bring us down to around 63° for the overnight, and this inflow will also lower our humidity as we through the overnight.  The dry inflow will keep us mostly sunny tomorrow with temperatures in the low 80°s for Friday afternoon, but a little bit of instability will allow for a slight rain chance during the evening.  Other than that, we stay dry going through the weekend as high pressure builds, keeping the skies clear with temperatures expected to be in the mid 80°s.

Another low pressure system will move in to start the work week, and will pull in a substantial amount of heat and moisture out of the south.  This will bring temperatures into the upper 80°s to low 90°s for Monday and Tuesday, and will also increase our storm chance.

At this point, isolated storms are likely Monday afternoon, with skies looking to be partly cloudy.  However, the storms look isolated, so most places will be fairly dry, and the partly cloudy skies should allow enough room to see the eclipse.

Tuesday will be in the upper 80°s, with isolated storms possible in the afternoon, but afterwards we're looking to stay dry heading into the middle of the week.
