Summer-Like Weather with Rain on The Way

We had another gorgeous day across the Stateline, but you may have noticed something a little unusual....it was really warm! Temperatures hit the upper 80's this afternoon, 10° above our average for this time of year.  Luckily, for those of you who are sick of the heat, the skies will stay clear this evening, which means our temperatures will cool off pretty quickly.  We'll drop back into the upper 70's around 9pm, before cooling to the mid 60's overnight.  There is some moisture flowing into our area out of the south, so we may see some light fog early tomorrow morning.

We'll go into the weekend with the same weather we had today, sunshine and temperatures in the upper 80's.  However, it will be fairly muggy as dew point temperatures will be in the low 60's, and a few places could see heat index values around 90°, so keep that in mind if you plan on going outside during tomorrow afternoon. 


Even though the weather's been gorgeous this week, it has come with a bit of a consequence....no rain!  We haven't seen significant rain since August 28th, where we saw a little over 2 inches.  Since then, we've been dry, and we're building on that 1.57 inch deficit from the entire month of August from the lack of rain we've seen this month.  We're supposed to already have seen around 1.5 inches of rain this month, and so far we've seen under one-tenth of an inch, so we got a ways to go.

Luckily, we do have a cold front on the way, and that'll be settling into our area early Sunday morning.  It'll bring a few showers and a couple thunderstorms across the Stateline, but only for the morning.  We stay dry during the afternoon with highs in the low 80's and mostly cloudy skies.

However, once we get into next week we'll have more warm air and moisture move into our area, and this will give us a few rain chances going through the work week.  We'll have rain chances on Monday and Thursday, with only slight chances on Wednesday and Friday.  It doesn't seem like a lot, but at least it'll be a step in the right direction.  Along with those rain chances, temperatures will be in the low 80's on Monday followed by the mid 80's for the rest of the week, before slightly cooling to the low 80's by the end of the week.
