Friday Evening Bowling Green Weather Update

Tonight – Scat’d Rain/Snow Showers – Low 30˚

6pm 37˚ – 9am 35˚ – 12am 33˚ – 3am 32˚ – 6am 30˚

A well advertised disturbance has developed to our southwest, and is steadily creeping eastward across the Gulf States.

As this system continues a east/northeast track, it will bring the opportunity for scat’d rain and/or snow showers to our area.  The following HiRes NAM model loops every hour from 7-11pm tonight.  Notice the precip shield tracking northeast across south central Kentucky, as the freeze line (blue, 540 line) drops to our south.

HiRes NAM 1000-500mb Thickness valid 7-11pm
HiRes NAM 1000-500mb Thickness valid 7-11pm

DON’T FRET.  This system doesn’t look to be carrying too much of a punch, if anything at all.  The latest guidance continues to keep a lot of us dry.

With that being said, don’t be surprised if you see some flakes fly tonight.  Who knows, if you’re lucky, maybe you’ll catch a brief, sparse dusting.  The chance at a nice snow continues to allude us…

Sat – Partly Sunny – High 45˚ / Sat Night – Partly Cloudy – Low 30˚

Nothing much to see here.  The system will quickly move eastward as we get into Saturday.  We look to be under a mix of sun and clouds, with southerly winds taking highs into mid 40s.

Should the clouds move out sooner…we may even see 50˚.

Sun – Sunny – Partly Sunny – High 53˚ / Sun Night – Iso’d Showers – Low 39˚

Thanks to an upper ridge working across the Ohio Valley, Sunday’s weather looks to be a swell.  Plentiful amounts of sunshine will coincide with light winds out of the south, escorting highs into the mid 50s.

I recommend taking advantage of these warm days.  The long term pattern looks to be active, and is steadily trending toward a cooler outlook.

I’ve received questions regarding the potential for a white Christmas, but I won’t dive into anything just yet.  As of this moment, the potential does exists, however, it’s not too exciting.  We’ll await more data over the next day or two before we start mentioning any specifics.

That’s all for the evening update, friends.  We’ll be back bright and early around 6am tomorrow morning with a fresh post on the latest forecast.  Until then, you can keep up with more frequent information at @WxOrNotBG and @WarrenCountyWx.  Have a great weekend.  Stay safe!
