Surface high pressure will continue its trek across the Commonwealth this afternoon and evening while providing a pretty nice end to the week. Outside of a few clouds, temperatures have warmed into the mid-upper 40’s with a light southerly breeze around 5-10 mph.

For this evening and tonight, not a lot changes with our forecast. High pressure will weaken and work eastward towards the mid-Atlantic Region as winds remain pretty steady from our south-southwest (around 5-10 mph). Otherwise, look for calm conditions while clouds slowly increase into our Saturday morning. Lows will be cold as temperatures drop into the mid 30’s.

Sat – Mostly Cloudy; Iso’d Showers – High 58º / Sat Night – Mostly Cloudy; Mild, Few Iso’d Showers – Low 52º

A good mix of sun and clouds will start off our holiday weekend before mostly cloudy skies take over by afternoon. A broad southwest flow will allow winds to crank up to 10-20 mph while ushering in more moisture and warmth. Because of this, highs will climb into the upper 50’s despite the overcast conditions along with a few isolated showers.

This slight chance for a shower or two will remain possible through Saturday night and into Sunday. The cloudy skies and continued southerly winds will keep our overnight lows mild. Temperatures will only drop into the lower 50’s overnight.

 

 

Sun – Mostly Cloudy; Few Sct’d Showers – High 64º / Sun Night – Mostly Cloudy; Sct’d Showers – Low 53º

The warming trend will continue into the latter part of the weekend. Highs will warm into the low, even mid 60’s for Bowling Green weather as our rain chances begin to ramp up. A low pressure system will work in from the upper Midwest while dragging its attendant cold front through the Commonwealth. Showers will break out later on Sunday night and into Monday.

Rainfall totals do not look overly impressive with this system. However, upwards to a 0.50” of rainfall can be anticipated with a bulk of the precipitation coming on Monday. Lows will be mild heading into Sunday night before much cooler air will settle in by Monday night and into Tuesday. Until then, let’s enjoy the rest of our holiday weekend and the much needed warm up!
