Rain Around The Corner

This Afternoon – Increasing Clouds; Breezy – High 68° / Tonight – Isolated Showers – Low 58°

Partly cloudy skies will join southerly winds of 10-15mph this afternoon.  A few gusts could top 20mph.  Thanks to this feature, afternoon highs are expected to climb to the upper 60s.

Definitely worthy of a celebration…

We’ll experience increasing clouds as we get into this evening, with the overnight bringing isolated rain chances to the region.  This will be in response to our next weather producer approaching from the southwest.  Overnight lows will hang in the upper 50s.

Friday 3/13 – Rainy & Dreary – High 62° / Fri Night – Rain Likely – Low 55°

**Flood Watch from 1 am Friday through Saturday morning**

Friday’s gonna be wetttttt.  Our weather will consist of widespread rain showers, making for dreary conditions to end the work week on.  We’ll keep warm air in place across the area, thanks to southerly flow continuing to dominate the region.

 Dramatization of your Friday…

A shortwave trough will continue to advect moisture and warm temperatures northward into the region from the Gulf of Mexico.

Precipitable water values will be ~1.5″, which is absurdly high, given the time of year.  Translation: There’s the potential for significant rainfall to dump from the sky.  Highs will hold in the low to mid 60s.

Rain will continue through our Friday night as well, with lows bottoming out around 57°.  Keep in mind that minor flooding will be possible.  Areas prone to flooding will likely see water levels rise even more.

Tell me that’s doesn’t look like a heavenly sleep.

Saturday 3/14 – Scat’d Showers – High 65° / Sat Night – Iso’d Showers – Low 42°

On Saturday, the low pressure system will begin to track east of the region.  We’ll be left with lingering, scattered showers throughout the day.

High temperatures will once again return to the mid 60s, so it won’t be completely terrible.  Shoutout to all of you weekend grill warriors!

Saturday night will bring a general diminishing rain chance as the system moves to the west. Lows will drop back down into the low 40s.  Total rainfall amounts through Saturday evening look to range between 1-3″:

That will wrap up the afternoon forecast post.  As always, stay in touch with @WxOrNotBG and @WarrenCountyWX for the latest south central Kentucky weather information. Have a great day!
