Severe Weather Likely

Real-Time Regional Radar:

————————————————————————

Today 6/4 – Isolated Strong/Severe Thunderstorms – High 89° / Tonight – Scattered Strong/Severe Thunderstorms – Low 70°

We’ll have much more upper level support today than we have in quite some time. This, coupled with adequate shear and moderate to high instability will yield an atmosphere conducive for severe weather across the region.

A surface low will continue to track eastward across the Ohio Valley. The frontal boundaries located along the the low pressure will be the focus for pretty robust thunderstorms across the region. With they dynamics in place, damaging wind, large hail, and isolated tornadoes are all hazards Wednesday evening and night. Heavy rain will also be possible with any storms that form.

The Storm Prediction center is also monitoring our region for severe weather. As of now, they have placed us in a “slight”, think enhanced, risk of severe weather. We’ll have to monitor subsequent updates for any changes. If a severe weather warning is issued for your area, have a plan in place to take shelter.

Outside of thunderstorms, expect highs to be in the upper 80s to perhaps low 90s across the region. Only isolated thunderstorms are expected in the afternoon, with more numerous storms in the evening and nighttime hours. Lows will be in the upper 60s across the region.

You can’t say the storm took you by surprise. However, this poor guy can’t catch a break.

Thursday 6/5 – Isolated Thunderstorms – High 80° / Thur Night – Scattered Clouds – Low 63°

As the cold front moves through the region, moisture will be a bit harder to come by as drier air filters into the region. Thus, we’ll see thunderstorm chances remain fairly limited throughout the day. That certainly is a welcoming sign.

We’ll see highs top out around 80° in the afternoon. By evening, skies should begin to clear out some as more dry air works into the region. With less clouds hanging around and slightly cooler air in place, expect lows to be in the low to mid 60s across the region. This will make it feel pretty nice across the region.

Friday 6/6 – Partly Cloudy – High 81° / Fri Night – Partly Cloudy – Low 64°

On Friday, we’ll see our next weather maker appear, however it won’t have too much of an effect on the weather for Friday. A warm front will be located to the south of the region, with high pressure located to the north. This high pressure will act to suppress any appreciable moisture from creeping north.

We should expect thunderstorms to fire along the warm front across the mid south. However, I’m thinking the storms won’t make it too far north as they encounter drier air. Because of this, I believe Bowling Green will remain dry on Friday. Expect highs in the lower 80s, and lows will the in the mid 60s. Happy Friday, sprint towards the weekend!

 

That should about wrap it up for this post. Be sure to monitor your NOAA Weather Radio and the above radars in the event of severe weather. Be sure to stay tuned to local media and remain informed. Seek shelter immediately if your area is under a severe weather warning. Stay updated with @WxOrNotBG for the latest on this developing situation.
