Last night’s snow event stayed just to the southeast of Bowling Green, lining up very well with the forecast. Reports ranging from a dusting up to 1.5″ came in from Allen & Barren County. Speaking of Allen County…

We’ll be stuck under the influence of northwest flow aloft for today, which will help keep those temps down some. Rays of sunshine early will give way to increasing clouds by mid morning. Afternoon highs will struggle to reach the lower 30s under partly cloudy skies.
A piece of energy will move into the region from the north during the early afternoon. This could provide enough lift to produce some scattered snow and rain showers from time to time.
As of now, these don’t look like much of a big deal. Flying flurries look most plausible, however, we can’t rule out a few stray snow showers. Accumulations aren’t likely, however, we can’t rule out a sporadic coating with this system.
The 4km NAM simulated radar model below is valid for 4pm this afternoon, and favors the idea of light snow activity over the region:
Partly cloudy skies will return tonight, and we’ll keep a few isolated flurries here and there. Temperatures will drop fairly quick into the mid to upper teens across the region, If a few more clouds move out, then temperatures will likely drop lower than expected.
Friday 2/27 – Partly Cloudy; Cold – High 25° / Fri Night – Cloudier – Low 15°
High pressure will move south out of Canada and into south central Kentucky on Friday. And yes, we’ll feel the effect of its origin, as temps remain well below freezing for the entire day. Some partly cloudy skies can be expected, but overall the sun won’t provide much comfort as afternoon highs reach only 25°.
Friday night will bring a few more clouds into the region which will help prevent temperatures from really bottoming out. However, bundle up if you’re out and about because lows will still drop into the mid teens.
Saturday 2/28 – Partly Cloudy – High 37° / Sat Night – Cloudy – Low 31°
We’ll see somewhat of a warming trend begin Saturday, thanks to that high pressure system moving to our east. This will cause our surface flow to turn a bit more southerly. Under partly cloudy skies, the high will reach a steamy 37°. No, not the warmest, but we’ll take what we can get.
When will it ever end!?!
Saturday night will bring cloudy skies to the region and a mild low of 31°, thanks to the cloud cover.
The beginning of next week is beginning to look very warm compared to the conditions we’ve been seeing. Clouds will become more abundant on Sunday, as temps catapult to the upper 40s.
This will be in response to our next weather maker that looks to bring showers and storms to the area Sunday night – Tuesday. The details are far from being ironed out, but we’ll be keeping an eye on it. It looks as though signs of spring may be on the horizon.
That should wrap up this blog post. Be sure to follow @WxOrNotBG and @WarrenCountyWX for the latest Bowling Green weather information.
