It's been a blustery stretch across the Stateline the past few days, with persistent winds making it feel cooler than the thermometer might suggest. Yesterday was a good example of that, as the steady breeze help hold afternoon highs in the low 60s.
Winds ease up quite a bit today, and while we'll still have a breeze, it won't be nearly as impactful as what we've dealt with recently. Even better, that wind will shift out of the southeast, tapping into a warmer air mass and helping temperatures rebound. With a high pressure system nearby, skies will end up mostly sunny for most of the day, allowing afternoon highs to climb back to seasonable levels.
Moving into tonight, our next chance for rain arrives as a weak system slides in ahead of broader troughing off to our west. Clouds will gradually increase through the evening, with scattered showers arriving close to or shortly after midnight. These showers look fairly light in nature, though a heavy downpour or two cannot be ruled out. Chances should linger into the first half of Friday before clouds give way to some sunshine by the afternoon.
By the weekend, our focus will turn to the heightened potential for strong to severe storms, especially on Sunday and Monday. A warm front is expected to stall nearby, creating a favorable setup for stronger storms to develop. As of this morning, the Storm Prediction Center places the entire under a level 1 Marginal Risk for Saturday, but indications point to a higher threat level as we head into the latter half of the weekend and early next week.
