Real-time Bowling Green weather radar:
Today, 7/1 – Becoming Mostly Cloudy; Showers & Storms – High 81˚ / Tonight – Showers & Storms – Low 69˚
Good morning, and happy first day of July! The start of the month will definitely be a wet one for Bowling Green weather, with showers and storms expected for the remainder of the week. Sorry you all, I don’t create the weather, I just help forecast it…
We’re looking at mostly cloudy skies, cooler than normal temperatures, and lots of rain. If you’re wanting some solid time to read a book or work on a puzzle, you’ve got it this week. A trough at the jet stream level, along with disturbances rotating through the area, will keep weather conditions wet.
As for today, temperatures look as though they’ll make it to around 80° or so. We’ll start out with some peaks of sun, but clouds will be increasing throughout the day. We may see some scattered showers and storms this morning, but our chances for rain will increase after about 1 o’clock, with temperatures decreasing due to the onset of the rain. These showers and storms will continue into the evening and the overnight hours.
Thursday, 7/2 – Cloudy; Showers & Storms – High 79˚ / Thursday Night – Mostly Cloudy; Chance of Storms – Low 69˚
Between Wednesday night and Thursday, some serious rainfall (and flash flooding) may be possible for Bowling Green weather… We’re talking 2 or so inches over south central Kentucky thanks to this system. Thursday seems to be pretty much a washout, with showers and storms expected throughout the entire day.
Overcast skies and rain will keep temperatures below normal, with highs remaining in the upper 70s! That’s about 10° off the normal high for this time in July. Rain will continue off and on Thursday night, with lows in the upper 60s.
Friday, 7/3 – Showers & Storms – High 79˚ / Friday Night – Mostly Cloudy; Chance of Storms- Low 67˚
Can you kind of predict what I’m about to say…?
Figured. Showers and storms will continue Friday, with heavier rain in the evening and overnight hours. Temperatures will skate along that 80° mark once again during the day, and drop into the upper 60s Friday night.
A look at the rainfall totals over the next few days is shown below.
This forecast map is valid between 7PM Tuesday night and 7PM Friday night. The majority of this rainfall is from the Wednesday night/Thursday system.
A look at your 4th of July forecast will be coming throughout the next few blog posts, so stay tuned! Sorry if my forecast put a damper on your day…
