Real Time Bowling Green Weather Radar:
Today 5/25 – Scattered Showers and Storms – High 81° / Tonight – Partly Cloudy – Low 67°
An elongated area of low pressure to the west of the region will move closer to south-central Kentucky. High pressure over the southeastern United States will result in southwest flow at the surface, as well as aloft across the region.
This will lead to increased warm air advection and moisture advection. Thus, scattered showers and storms will be possible thru much of the day. It does appear that once we get into the afternoon, conditions will dry out to an extent. Highs will be around 81°. The Hi-Res NAM model suggest activity will taper off to isolated storms between 5 to 7 PM:
Any thunderstorms should begin to diminish after sunset. Partly cloudy skies seem possible overnight with a low around 67°.
Tuesday 5/26 – Scattered Severe Storms – High 83° / Tue Night – Partly Cloudy – Low 66°
The aforementioned area of low pressure will continue to overspread the region. Widespread divergence aloft and convergence at the surface will result in ample lift for widespread showers and thunderstorms in the morning hours. This complicates the severe weather risk for Tuesday.
If showers and thunderstorms are numerous in the morning hours on Tuesday, the atmosphere will have less time to destabilize effectively by the time more thunderstorms can develop. On the flip side, if there are no morning showers and thunderstorms, then more instability will be available for thunderstorms to tap into. Keep updated with the latest forecasts for more information. Highs will be around 83°.
The Storm Prediction Center has placed all of south-central Kentucky in a Slight Risk for severe weather on Tuesday. Main threats will be damaging wind and the potential for large hail. An isolated tornado threat will also be present.
Tuesday night will bring partly cloudy skies to the region with a low around 66°.
Wednesday 5/27 – Scattered Showers – High 81° / Wed Night – Isolated Showers – Low 65°
There’s a bit of model disagreement regarding Wednesday. The NAM model is much slower with the progression of the precipitation, thus it would be a good idea to introduce a chance of scattered showers in the morning and afternoon hours. However, this may be altered in later forecasts. Highs will be in the low 80s. Rain certainly would ruin a great day, so we’ll do our best to get that out of the forecast.
Wednesday night will bring some isolated showers to the region with a low of 65°.
