Rainy, Gloomy Weather in Bowling Green

As we head into the next few days, the cloudy skies and chance for showers look like they’ll stick around longer than we previously thought! While we were all sleeping, several inches of rain fell in Bowling Green; these precipitation readings varied across the county.

Heavy rain falling in the Bowling Green area this morning. May result in some local ponding/high water, so be careful if out driving! #kywx

Wow! 2.33″ of rain at the #BGKY airport since midnight. A month that had been bone dry is ending on a very wet note! #wbkowx #kywx

As of 9:00 AM, here are the rainfall totals since midnight:

Corvette Plant Mesonet: 3.11 inches

Ag Farm Mesonet: 1.16 inches

Bowling Green Airport: 2.39 inches

We’re definitely trying to catch up from the rain deficit we’ve experienced this month for the last day of September! Upper-level lows, and now Hurricane Joaquin, will keep Fall Break for WKU students a wet one. We will continue to monitor these systems and their interactions with our area over the next several days.
