Cooling Off This Week

What a beautiful Tuesday morning! Temperatures in the low 70's now across the Stateline, but you may have noticed it feels much more comfortable outside! Dew points are more mild around 60°, and they'll stay that way the rest of the day.  This nice weather doesn't last forever though, as thunderstorms will make a presence this week.


 As we go through today, a high pressure system will track down from the north, continuously pulling cool, dry air into the area.  This will keep temperatures in the low 80's during the afternoon, and keep the low humidity too.  A few clouds will move on through this afternoon, but even then we'll still be sunny.



Once we get into the evening any lingering clouds will dissipate, as that high sinks into the Stateline for the overnight.  As it does so, it'll get access to more cool air, which will end up bringing us into the upper 50's during the overnight, with rural, flat areas dipping to the mid 50's overnight.

A little bit of patchy fog will also be possible during the overnight as temperatures will be cooling off quickly, but it'll still feel comfortable outside.  You might even want to open your windows to get some free air conditioning!



That high will be sitting just northeast of us for Wednesday, and we'll see the same conditions that apply for today, the only difference being less cloud cover.




You'll want to take advantage of the nice weather today and Wednesday, because once Thursday arrives we'll have a low pressure system track into the area, which will bring in some thunderstorms for Thursday afternoon.  These will last through the overnight into Friday morning, and some thunderstorms may pack a punch.


Other than the thunderstorms, things look dry this week, with cool and comfortable conditions in store the rest of the week.  Temperatures will only be in the mid to upper 70's this weekend, with a passing rain shower possible on Sunday.
