More Summer In The Forecast

Real-time radar:


Today: Partly sunny, with scattered showers & storms – high of 88ºF. Tonight: Partly cloudy, with widely scattered storms. Low of 74ºF.

Today is looking better than I anticipated it to in my forecast from yesterday morning, which is good if you like summer.

Its definitely gonna be a page out of the “Stereotypical Summer Days” book (that doesn’t exist). The cold front that dropped heavy rainfall across the region yesterday (5.5″ of rain in one hour in Paducah) and last night is looking to be draped across our region as a stationary front.

As a low pressure system to our west begins to develop and move northeastward, it will drag it north as a warm front. This will warm temps into the mid and upper 80s, with breezy southerly winds.

A scattered shower & storm threat will exist along the boundary today…there could also be more in the afternoon and evening, depending on if we see any sunshine.

Overnight, we’ll see temps fall into the mid 70s, with an isolated storm threat continuing.


Thursday: Warm, and breezy. Scattered storms possible, with a high around 87ºF. Thur. night: Partly cloudy, with a lot of 70ºF.

Today looks like it may turn out pretty nice for a change!

The day looks to have partly cloudy skies as we will be in the warm sector of a northeastward moving low pressure system. It’ll drag another cold front into the region, but whether it is strong enough to fire up significant convection is murky.

I think that we could see some scattered scattered storms in the early to mid afternoon time frame, but the front may only afford us some cloud cover.

Another thing to watch: it looks pretty breezy across the region on Thursday, so that is another thing to be watching for.

Overnight, it looks really nice as skies stay partly cloudy with lows falling into the lower 70s.


Friday: Hot and humid. High near 90ºF. Fri. night: Mostly clear (!). Lows around 71ºF.

Friday looks like the hottest day of the week without a doubt. The sun will be out and winds will be out of the south and west, creating a good environment to have temps warm up higher. Look for dewpoints and temps to both be higher, creating a pretty lame temp environment outside. Highs will likely be around 90.

Overnight, it looks like end up being clear for once! That sounds really nice. Lows will end up in the lower 70s, again.


Well, thats all I have for now. Be sure to check out @WxOrNotBG and @WarrenCountyWX for the latest information for the region.
