Temperature Climb and What It Means For the Eclipse

It's turned out to be a beautiful Friday as we've seen lots of sunshine and more mild temperatures in the upper 70°s to low 80°s.  However, we've got a weak low pressure system on the approach from the northwest, and this will be increasing our rain chances as we go through the evening.  Our best rain chances will start between 9-10pm, but we could see a couple light showers until then.  The weak low will clear out around 1am, and by then most of the rain will be gone.

After the low clears out, clouds will be decreasing for the rest of the overnight and into Saturday morning.  High pressure will settle in Saturday morning, bringing lots of sunshine for the weekend, but it'll also cause our temperatures to climb quite a bit.  We'll see temperatures in the mid 80°s on Saturday, and then the upper 80°s to possibly low 90°s Sunday afternoon.  It'll be fairly humid by Sunday, which could bring heat index values into the mid 90°s, so take precaution if you have outdoor plans.

Humidity will increase much more on Monday, and that high heat and moisture will allow for some thunderstorms to develop.  However, these storms will be isolated, meaning that while these storms are occurring, most of the Stateline area will still be dry.  It'll be a little cloudy early afternoon, but there will still be plenty of breaks in the clouds to allow for a good viewing of the eclipse.

A cold front moves in Tuesday, bringing storms for the early afternoon, but afterwards we stay sunny and dry for the rest of the week, with temperatures in the low 80°s.
