Real-time Bowling Green weather radar:
Today, 3/25 – Partly Sunny; Isolated Showers; Breezy – High 74˚ / Tonight – Chance of Showers & Storms – Low 57˚
Good Wednesday morning, Bowling Green! In contrast to my last post, “interesting” weather is back in the forecast. Today will unfortunately be the last day of unseasonably warm weather before pressure centers, fronts, and resulting rainfall cause temperatures to drop back down below average for the end of the week. I know… Don’t shoot the messenger.
Southerly winds at the surface will allow temperatures to hit the low 70s today. Isolated showers are possible during the day today, however, the more significant chance for rainfall begins tonight as low pressure and an approaching cold front provide substantial lift for the possibility of thunderstorms… Yes, thunderstorms. Who’s pumped? Temperatures tonight will only drop down into the mid to upper-50s.
Thursday, 3/26 – Rain Showers – High 60˚ / Thursday Night – Rain Ending; Partly Cloudy – Low 35˚
The rain chances continue Thursday as low pressure moves northeastward through the region. Temperatures will peak fairly early in the day before a cold front causes winds to shift to the northwest by the early afternoon. Highs will hit right around 60° during the day; lows will drop into the mid-30s overnight.
The post-frontal precipitation will be widespread throughout the day Thursday, with the possibility of a thunderstorm. The NAM shows the rain moving out of our area between 1 AM and 4 AM Thursday night/Friday morning, leaving behind much cooler temperatures and partly cloudy skies.
Even with the widespread rain, however, the day 1-3 quantitative precipitation forecast below shows the Bowling Green area remaining below 0.75″ of total rain between 7 PM Tuesday through 7 PM Friday:
Friday, 3/27 – Mostly Sunny – High 48˚ / Friday Night – Partly Cloudy & Cold – Low 26˚
High pressure from Canada will begin to build in Friday, which means dry conditions for our area, but cold temperatures as well. Strong surface winds from the northwest due to the location of the high pressure will cause highs to remain in the upper 40s for the day; lows Friday night will drop down into the mid-20s. The forecast map below for 7 PM Thursday shows the Canadian high that will be the cause of the chilly temperatures this weekend.
These below-normal temperatures will continue into the weekend before slowly rising at the beginning of the week.
As always, stay in touch with @WxOrNotBG and @WarrenCountyWx for the latest real-time weather info. Have a great day!
