Scattered storm chances next week starting Sunday

We have remained dry over the past few days with high pressure overhead the Stateline, but that is beginning to change as we head into Sunday morning. Clouds have already been on the rise with our next chances for rain moving in shortly after. This will keep our overnight low a bit warmer, only reaching the mid-60s. 


Light rain may be the onset into early tomorrow morning, starting just before or near sunrise. Pockets of light to steady rain may last for a few hours before rain becomes a bit more scattered toward the afternoon. A few breaks in the clouds may also appear, helping promote a few thunderstorms. Scattered showers and storms will then last into tomorrow evening before we lose daytime heating. Within any spots that see sunshine, temperatures may rise into the low 80s. Otherwise, many will be stuck in the upper 70s.


Our next potential for some strong to severe storms come shortly after, and multiple rounds may be possible over the week ahead. The first of which comes Monday, as the Storm Prediction Center has placed us under a Level 1/5 Marginal Risk for severe storms. Scattered storms may be possible through the afternoon, but the highest risk for any strong or severe storms looks to come late in the evening, when better ingredients come together. For details on the science behind the ingredients of our severe threat, visit here: The science behind Monday's severe weather threat (mystateline.com).


A few isolated storms may be possible into Tuesday, but another chance for stronger storms returns Wednesday into Thursday. Heat indices may push the upper 90s most days especially when storms do not form (particularly Tuesday afternoon). Overall, a gradual drying trend will filter in toward the end of the week, while temperatures remain near to just above average.
