After a great start to the holiday weekend with temperatures well into the 80's and lots of sun Friday, we unfortunately have some changes on the way with increasing clouds and some potentially strong rainfall ahead of us - especially on Saturday and early Sunday. A storm system and associated frontal boundary is approaching from the northwest, which is drawing winds and humidity from the south - all creating ideal conditions for convergence and heavy precipitation. One of the challenges with this storm system is that it won't push very quickly through the Stateline - it will sit just to our north for a good portion of the weekend causing unstable conditions. We might see a scattered shower or thunderstorm tonight, but the main event will happen early tomorrow morning - likely between 4 and 6 am - when strong storms and rain showers will approach. We should see a break mid-day, but then could see another round of storms in the early afternoon. Some of the storms could be severe with strong winds and large hail being the primary threat.
Those storms will continue late Saturday into early Sunday before we get a break by mid-day Sunday. Monday looks a little better as most of the storms will stay to our north. The weekend won't be a complete washout, but we could see times of pretty heavy rainfall. Enjoy your holiday weekend!
