Heavy rain was the main story in some parts of the Stateline last night, with no severe weather threat in most areas. It rained heavily, with some places receiving more than 2 to 3 centimeters of rain. A narrow swatch of these rainfall totals was along the northern border of Greene, Rock, and Walworth counties in southern Wisconsin. Some of the storms that brought heavy rain caused severe conditions for a time, but there were only a few reports of subsequent hail.
There appeared to be a low-level severe threat for Stateline tonight, but most of that threat has diminished as widespread cloud cover has prevented instability, or too much storm energy, from building up. Did. Despite the energy deficit, a few more widespread showers are possible tonight, mainly after 10pm. Steady to moderate rain is likely to continue in some areas until dawn, clearing by tomorrow afternoon.
Tonight we’ll have clouds, rain and a few lingering storms so temperatures will only drop into the low 60s. Tonight will be another breezy night as winds of 25 mph or more are possible from the south.
The rain should stop by 9:10 a.m. and we’ll see some sunshine in the afternoon. This will cause winds to veer westward behind an early morning cold front that will once again warm some areas to near 70 degrees.
This dry trend will continue overnight into Tuesday, with a warmer-than-average trend continuing into the middle of the week. The jet stream pattern aloft is relatively quiet through Tuesday, but the next jet stream disturbance could bring rain Tuesday night into Wednesday and again Thursday into Friday.
Meanwhile, temperatures will remain above normal through much of the coming period, returning to the mid to upper 70s Tuesday through Thursday. Rain and storms are most likely Thursday through Friday, but then temperatures cool down late in the week and return to the 60s by next weekend.
