Spring is Settling In

We finally got some nice weather in the Stateline, hitting 60° this afternoon and getting plenty of sunshine!  A well-deserved end to the work week after dealing with winter for so long.  Compared to last year, we've had a pretty cold start to 2018, only seeing 3 60° days so far, and getting only one 70° day.  Both being way outdone by last year's numbers.


As we head into the evening this high pressure system will keep our skies clear.  This will cool us down to the mid 40's by 10pm, but before 7pm we'll get to experience the 50's, so it's shaping us to be a pretty nice evening.  The high will continue cooling us down even after 10pm, bringing us to around 40° heading into the overnight.


During the overnight a mid-level low will move near our area, increasing our cloud cover during the overnight.  Despite the cloud cover, temperatures will still manage to cool to the mid 30's overnight, but luckily winds stay calm, so wind chill won't be a factor.  The low will keep us cloudy as we head into Saturday, bringing us chances for a quick passing shower early Saturday afternoon.

The low will keep us cloudy through late Saturday evening, but afterwards the high pressure system will take back over as the mid-level low moves out.  The high will stay in control for the rest of the weekend afterwards, bringing us more sunshine, and allowing our temperatures to warm into the mid 60's during Sunday afternoon.


This high will continue staying dominate heading into the work week, with Monday being pretty much the same as Sunday.  Tuesday we'll be near 70°, before rain chances move in Tuesday night into Wednesday.  Temperatures briefly cool off afterwards for the rest of the week, hitting the mid 50's on Wednesday, mid 60's on Thursday, and low 60's on Friday. 

However, even those temperatures will feel nice to us, considering we've been dealing with winter weather for far too long.
