In terms of temperatures, this weekend has been well-advertised as a much needed warm up across the Ohio Valley and the south in general. This is a result of a high pressure system moving to our east, and a low pressure system beginning to deepen to our west. While this will warm us up, it will also make our Sunday rather rainy and nasty. To our south, however, they are looking at one of the higher threats for severe weather of the fall season.

The SPC highlights that, “…DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AND THE POSSIBILITY FOR A COUPLE OF TORNADOES ARE FORECAST TO BE THE PRIMARY THREATS….” in these areas tomorrow. This is due to an uptick in wind shear in response to the deepening low pressure system over the Ozarks region and into Illinois.
While we will have a lot of wind energy to work with here in Bowling Green, we likely will not have enough instability to support a significant severe weather threat. Isolated damaging wind gusts are possible, along with gusty, non thunderstorm winds.
