Rainy Start, Relief on the Way.

It was a hot, humid, and stormy weekend across the Stateline with severe thunderstorms Friday and Saturday and heat index values just shy of 110.° Thankfully we will get a break from the humidity and the rain after we get through Monday. Humidity is increasing as dew points rise into the upper 60's and low 70's ahead of our next cold front. This is giving us another humid day with some heavy downpours possible in any showers/storms we see. Showers and storms will fire up out ahead of an approaching cold front as early as the early afternoon, however better timing looks to be with the passage of the cold front later in the afternoon. Temperatures today will top out near 85° under thickening cloud cover, and with dew points in the 60's and 70's this will bring some heavier downpours in any showers or storms we see.

The good news is, high pressure builds in on Tuesday and winds shift around to the northwest. This will bring in cooler and drier air, as well as more sunshine. You don't have to worry about the rain for the majority of the week, next chance looks be to late Friday evening, however better timing arrives Saturday. Temperatures will stay in the low 80's this week but warm back into the  upper 80's with an increase in humidity as we go into the weekend.  The heaviest rain stays to the south and west of us this week. The southern plains look to get a good 2-3 inches of rain along a stalled boundary, and southern California is setting record rainfall amounts with the remnants of Tropical Storm Dolores bringing heavy rain to typically southern California's driest month.
