This Afternoon – Partly Cloudy, Scat’d Strong Storms – High 91º / Tonight – Partly Cloudy, Sct’d Strong Storms – Low 73º

A low pressure system mentioned over the past few post will continue its track across the Great Lakes Region. The associated cold front will work across portions of Kentucky this afternoon and evening. This boundary will interact with a very moist and unstable air mass allowing scattered showers and storms to develop.
A few storms could develop and become strong/severe in nature as torrential rainfall, damaging winds, small hail and dangerous lightning will be possible. The SPC has placed all of southern Kentucky in a 5% probability of seeing severe winds (≥58mph) and/ or hail (≥1″) within 25 miles this afternoon and evening.
Otherwise, storm activity will begin to wane into the overnight hours as conditions remain warm and muggy. Lows will drop into the lower 70’s under partly cloudy skies.
Thu – Mostly Sunny; Iso’d Storms – High 95º / Thu Night – Partly Cloudy; Warm – Low 73º
Mother Nature will turn up the heat dial by Thursday as a warm front lifts northward while engulfing much of the Ohio Valley. In return, the heat and humidity will become quite oppressive. Afternoon highs will soar into the mid 90’s as dewpoint values rise into the upper 60’s, lower 70’s. In return, heat indices will make a run at or just above the century mark.
Outside of the heat, a few isolated pop-up showers and storms will remain possible. These storms will mainly be diurnally driven with best chances for activity through the afternoon and early evening hours. Any pop storms that occur will diminish by Thursday night. Lows will be warm as temperatures drop into the low-mid 70’s under partly cloudy skies.
Fri – Mostly Sunny; Hot – High 96º / Fri Night – Partly Cloudy, Warm – Low 73º
The end of the week is near, but boy oh boy will it be steamy. A dome of high pressure will build into the region and settle in for the next several days. Highs will be scorching as temperatures reach the mid, even upper 90s for afternoon highs. Factor in dewpoint values and heat index values will reach the lower 100’s for those feel like conditions.
Stay cool out there…
Partly cloudy skies will build in by Friday night as the short term forecast stays warm and dry. Overnight lows are expected to drop into the lower-mid 70’s.
That does it for now, folks. Be sure to stay up to date with all your real time Bowling Green weather info @WxOrNotBG and @WarrenCountyWX on twitter. Stay weather aware this evening!
