Temperatures Tumble

A strong cold front pressed eastward through the Stateline on Sunday evening.  A band of moderate rainfall was associated with the passage of the front.  Temperatures reached an almost balmy 68 degrees before the front arrived.  As of 11 pm the temperature has plummeted 30 degrees from that afternoon high to 38 degrees.  Modified arctic air following in behind the front will cause the mercury to fall at least another 10 degrees into the middle to upper 20's by daybreak on Monday.  There could be some snow flakes in the air in the next couple of hours just as the precipitation comes to a complete end.  No accumulation of snow is expected.  Sprawling Canadian high pressure will dominate Stateline weather for the next few days.  However, it be breezy again by midday Monday, and with some moisture drawn in from the north, there could be some snow flurries in the afternoon.  The high temperature on Monday afternoon will only be around 34 degrees.  That will prove to be quiet a shock to the system after weekend temperatures in the 60's.  Not only will the actual  temperature make you feel cold, the wind chill, because of 15-25 mph westerly winds will plunge to wind chill into the low 20's.  Have a nice day!
