Discussion
It is really, really nice to have a forecast that doesn’t forecast for very much.
I mean, we have storms forecasted for Tuesday, but even that isn’t likely to be crazy. Lets dive right in.
First of all, many of you are waking up to mostly cloudy skies across the region. I am fully expecting them to break up or clear by this afternoon, yielding mostly sunny skies. This will help to bump our highs up into the mid and upper 80s across the region.
I don’t expect there to be a threat for any storms this afternoon, as the airmass is much drier than it has been. This is in association with a cold front that passed through the region yesterday afternoon. While dewpoints are in the 70s this morning, this is largely due to diabatic effects, as the Earth cools radiationally and the dewpoint rises as the temperature falls through the overnight hours. During the day yesterday, however, dewpoints were in the mid 60s, and I expect we’ll see that again today.
So, overall, a nice Sunday! Overnight, look for lows to fall into the mid 60s under partly cloudy skies.
Tomorrow looks warmer, and a bit more humid, too.
That is okay, though. I can live with that if we aren’t seeing absolutely insane weather like we did this past week. There really isn’t much that we should be expecting out of tomorrow. Because we are looking at a bit of a spike in dewpoints, we may see some widely isolated storms tomorrow afternoon, but I expect most of us to stay dry under partly cloudy skies.
Highs will end up in the upper 80s and lower 90s across the region. Overnight, look for partly cloudy skies and lows in the lower 70s.
On Tuesday, I am expecting the weather to get a bit more interesting!
A vorticity maximum will be rotating through the lower Ohio Valley, just to our west. Vorticity maximums tend to be a lifting mechanism within the region just downstream of them, and that is where we look to be placed on Tuesday.
This will likely be the root source of some thunderstorms during the day on Tuesday, as the vort max moves towards us. Outside of that, a pretty normal day. Hot and humid, with highs looking to be in the upper 80s.
Overnight, look for an isolated storm chance to still be a threat, but otherwise, don’t not much else. Lows in the lower 70s.
Extended Outlook
Looking beyond Tuesday, it does appear as if a weak cold front will move east/southeastward, in association with a strong upper trough. This will likely bring rain/thunderstorms by around Wednesday or Thursday of this upcoming week. The CPC is still forecasting similar things, though, in the 6-10 day outlook. Above average temps, and near or above average precip.
Thats all I have for ya! Thanks for checking into WxOrNotBG this morning, and be sure to follow@WxOrNotBG on Twitter and like Landon Hampton on Facebook for the latest Bowling Green Weather information. Have a great day folks!
