What is your reward weather-wise? Although clouds will be on the increase as the day progresses, temperatures will reach the upper-30s by the afternoon. These conditions will not last for long, however, as two storm systems begin to make their way towards our area.

First, a low pressure system to our south will move northeastward towards the Atlantic, bringing us the possibility of some scattered snow showers tonight. Accumulations look to be minor, but south central Kentucky could receive a dusting up to 1/2″ of that white stuff we’ve come to know so well.

The greatest accumulations will be the southeastern tier of our area (Allen & Barren County, who will be under a winter weather advisory starting at 4pm this afternoon), along with the the Lake Cumberland region.  Up to 1-2″ of snow will be possible for these locations. Minor accumulations could cause travel implications Thursday morning, so be on the lookout for further updates.


Thursday 2/26 – Sct’d Snow Showers – High 35º / Thursday Night – Cloudy and Cold – Low 15º

A system from the northwest will be moving through on Thursday, bringing colder temperatures and another slight chance at scattered snow showers. Anything that falls on Thursday looks to be light, due to the lack of adequate moisture, but minor accumulations will once again be possible.

Temperatures will once again rise above freezing on Thursday (heat wave?!) but much cooler air will be coming in behind the aforementioned disturbance. Winds will shift northwesterly on Thursday, causing temperatures to drop into the teens overnight.


Friday 2/27 – Partly Cloudy & Colder – High 24º / Friday Night – Mostly Cloudy – Low 12º

High pressure will begin to build into our region once again on Friday, bringing even colder Arctic air to Bowling Green. Highs look to remain stuck in the 20s, but at least the sun will grace us with its presence. Lows Friday night will plummet into the lower teens… yet again.

Warmer temperatures are on the way this weekend, however! Highs look as though they’ll reach the mid-30s on Saturday and closer to 50° on Sunday… Local climate normals, here we come.
