Lingering Rain and the Rest of the Weekend

Other than a few brief-pop up showers it turned out to be a fairly nice afternoon with a few peeks of sunshine.  This helped temperatures to warm up a bit more into the upper 70s too, but now we've got more isolated showers pushing through the area, which will keep skies cloudy for the evening, but luckily we're nearly back on track for where we're supposed to be at with rain totals.

Before the storms moved through Thursday night, we were just over a 1.5" deficit.  The downpours, while unpleasant, did help get our numbers back up, now only sitting at a deficit of a quarter of an inch.

As we go through the evening, isolated showers will continue for the early portion of the evening, as everything is expected to dry up by 10pm.

Everything stays dry for the overnight, and any rain that moves towards our area will stay to the east or fizzle out before reaching us.  Not all the moisture will be gone though, as muggy conditions are expected during the overnight with dew points in the mid 60's, with warm temperatures around 70°.




Dry air starts sinking in on Sunday, but a brief pop-up shower will be possible mid-day, otherwise we're looking dry.  Cloud cover will be similar to today, with mostly cloudy conditions and a few peeks of sunshine.  Temperatures will be in the upper 70's again during the afternoon.


Once we get into the work week, a high pressure system will form in the northern plains and push more dry air into the area.  This will bring the sunshine back, along with warmer temperatures in the mid 80's.

We keep those same conditions until Wednesday, when thunderstorms chances start going back up for the Stateline.
