While we have been stuck in the warm and dry pattern lately, subtle changes may be on the horizon. The large scale upper level ridge has been a dominant feature for our weather pattern, bringing surface high pressure systems, a dry Easterly wind, and very little rainfall over the last week or two.
That ridge will begin to break down late into the week, resulting in at least a few slim chances for rain starting Friday. Increased jet stream flow overhead will result in increased moisture and subtle waves that are able to precipitate some of that moisture out as rain.
Unfortunately, it probably won't be the widespread and soaking rain that we need, but anything helps at this point. Coverage of rainfall may not reach much higher than 30-40% at any time Thursday night through the weekend, but at least some locations in the Stateline will have a shot at some rainfall, though others may end up staying dry. It's not much, but it's a start!
