Much Needed Rain to Start the Weekend

It's been a gray end to the work week, but that's not necessarily a bad thing.  We've been in a mini drought for quite some time, putting us over 3 inches behind for the month of September.  We've got a warm front moving through the Stateline, which has been generating light rain showers since the afternoon.  The front will push north tonight, but the rain will continue due to the moisture inflow behind the front, which could lead to some patchy fog during the overnight.

The rain will continue into Saturday before a cold front moves in from the west during the afternoon.  The front will generate a few thunderstorms out west during the early hours of the afternoon, before that front pushes further into the Stateline during the later hours of the afternoon, bringing those thunderstorms further east.  Highs will be in the low 70's during the afternoon.

Most places will end up seeing a little under half an inch of rain by tomorrow afternoon, with some more rain out west since those locations will be closer to the front.  All together, after the front moves out tomorrow evening, most places will have seen around half an inch, with some places out west possibly seeing close to an inch.  There will be a little light rain behind the front during the evening, but that'll die down late at night.

We'll end the weekend on a high note as temperatures will be in the upper 70's with plenty of sunshine to go along with it.  Clouds will build up during the work week as low pressure will develop near our area.  This will keep our temperatures more mild in the upper 60's to low 70's, but also bring us some more rain chances on Tuesday and towards the end of the week.
