You Guessed It…Sct’d Storms

Real Time Regional Radars:

Y

———————————————–

This Afternoon – Partly Cloudy; Sct’d Storms – High 86º / Tonight – Mostly Cloudy; Iso’d Storms– Low 66º

3pm 86º – 6pm 83º – 9pm 76º – 12am 71º – 3am 67º – 6am 66º

A stationary front is currently situated across central Kentucky and will begin to slowly edge southward over the next 24 hours. In return, Bowling Green will remain in the running for more scattered shower and storm development for this afternoon/early evening. With this set up, no severe weather is anticipated as pulse or pop-up thunderstorms will be the case. Primary threats with any storm will be brief heavy rainfall, gusty winds and lightning.

Storm activity will wane later this evening with the loss of daytime heating. However, with the southward progression of the frontal boundary, this could provide some additional lift for a few isolated showers or storms. Mostly cloudy skies will win out through the overnight hours as lows remain mild.

 

Sat – Partly Sunny; Stray Storm – High 87º / Sat Night – Partly Cloudy; Mild – Low 65º

The pesky front will finally clear the region as ridging aloft brings partly sunny skies for the first part of our weekend. Temperatures will stick on the warm side as mostly dry conditions win out. A stray shower or storm will be possible across far southern Kentucky, but I think Bowling Green will remain dry.

 

How does that sound for a change?!

Agreed.

Sun – Partly Sunny; Sct’d Storms – High 88º / Sun Night – Mostly Cloudy; Iso’d Storm – Low 68º

The upper-level ridge will be short-lived as it weakens and slides eastward Saturday night and into Sunday. Return flow will amp up our low-level moisture as instability increases across the area. In return, we’ll see chances for scattered shower and storm development back into the forecast. Now, we’re not talking a washout here, just our normal hit and miss pop-up storm activity. I know the feeling; it brings a tear to my eye too.

Grab the Kleenex, the potential for more tears are possible. Better chances for storms come Monday and Tuesday as the summer-like pattern continues. Look for slightly better coverage in storm activity to start the week as warm, muggy and moist conditions stay put. Highs next week will remain warm as temperatures range from the mid-upper 80’s. An isolated chance for a stray storm will be possible Sunday night, but any activity will likely diminish by the evening hours.

That’s all I have for now, folks. Be sure to stay up to date with all your real time weather info @WxOrNotBG and @WarrenCountyWX on twitter. Wishing everyone a great evening! The weekend is here!
