We had another rainy day in the Stateline, with some thunderstorms that moved in during the afternoon. The storms have since moved north, and all we're left with is a few spots of light rain. The light rain will last until 10pm tonight. Afterwards, the clouds will die down during the overnight, setting up what's going to be a beautiful end to the weekend. We'll be in the upper 70's Sunday afternoon with plenty of sunshine to go along with it.
As we go into the work week we'll have some cooler air move into our area, which will cool our temperatures to the mid 70's on Monday and the upper 60's on Tuesday. We'll also have a mid-level trough move in on Tuesday, which will bring us rain chances for the evening and overnight.
After that trough moves out, we'll stay dry going towards the end of the week with temperatures looking to warm back up into the mid 70's by Thursday, then the low 80's going into the weekend. The warm inflow will increase our rain chances for both Friday and Saturday.
With the rain deficit we've been dealing, it's nice to finally be a decent amount of rain move through our area. Most locations were around three-tenths of inch of rain total for Friday and Saturday. However, a few places out west saw more rain as they were closer to the cold front for a longer period of time than everyone else. Some locations out in Jo Daviess County saw close to an inch of rain.
So far, we're off to a pretty good start rain-wise for the month of October, as we've seen .23 inches of rain total. That's only .41 inches behind where we're supposed to be, which is pretty good considering we ended September over 3 inches behind in rain totals.
With more rain on the way next week, things can only get better.
