While it may only last a day, summer-like warmth will make a return for Monday afternoon as temperatures push into the upper 70s and even near 80 degrees in some locations! That comes with another windy afternoon as Southwest gusts push 30-35 mph at times. Blowing dirt and dust could be another concern in open areas, especially where fields have been tilled already.
We will remain dry throughout the afternoon, but isolated thunderstorms may begin to develop along a cold front by early evening. Storms may initiate between 4-5PM, and linger into the late evening, with highest coverage South of I-88 lasting a bit longer.
Once the front clears the area, storms will be pushed South and out of the Stateline. One computer model pulls storms out as early as 8PM, while others keep isolated storm coverage into the night. Storm coverage will not be very high, only scattered (40-60%) at best. A few showers may linger through the night, but highest coverage will be South of the area into Tuesday morning.
A few of those storms may pose a low-end risk for some damaging wind gusts and large hail. The Storm Prediction Center has placed the Stateline under a Level 1/5 Marginal risk for severe weather, indicating we may see an isolated storm reach severe limits.
Behind the cold front, temperatures quickly drop back below average with afternoon highs in the 50s for a few days next week. This also comes with an isolated shower from time to time, but no single day will be a washout. Thursday looks to bring the highest coverage of showers after Monday night's front, but even that day should feature more dry hours than rainy hours.
