Real-time Bowling Green weather radar:
Today, 8/26 – Sunny and Pleasant! – High 80˚ / Tonight – Mostly Clear – Low 58˚
Good Wednesday morning, Bowling Green! You can’t beat the beautiful weather we’ve had the past few days – the students here at WKU have definitely lucked out with their first two days on the Hill.
A cold front, northwest winds aloft, and high pressure at the surface have all contributed to the extremely pleasant weather conditions and below-normal temperatures for Bowling Green. Tuesday, we hit a high temperature of 79° and a low of 53° – compared to the normal values of 88° and 65°, respectively.
These weather conditions will continue today, with temperatures around 80° and sunny skies! I know students – like myself – are definitely thankful they’re not sweating walking to class, like we usually are this time in August. A light jacket may be needed at the bus stop in the morning, but will soon be forgotten by lunch!
Temperatures tonight will drop down into the upper-50s under mostly clear skies.
Thursday, 8/27 – Sunny – High 82˚ / Thursday Night – Mostly Clear – Low 58˚
Thursday will be another beautiful day… Any surprise there? Guess I can’t really complain while writing this forecast. Sunny skies are in store, along with a few degree difference from Wednesday – nothing drastic. Highs will hit the low-80s by the afternoon, which is still several degrees below average.
We’re looking at a pretty identical night Thursday with lows in the upper-50s and mostly clear skies.
Friday 8/28 – Mostly Sunny – High 85˚ / Friday Night – Partly Cloudy – Low 65˚
Like all good things, the mild weather must come to an end. Beginning Friday, the upper-level trough (dip in the jet stream) that has brought us cooler-than-normal temperatures will shift eastward, causing the flow in the atmosphere to be zonal, or move from west to east.
Because of this, we’ll begin to see a sensible change in the temperature Friday and into the weekend. Sunny skies should prevail on Friday, with increased humidity and cloud cover over the weekend. Lows Friday night will remain in the mid-60s.
So if you’re loving the weather this week, be sure to get out and enjoy it the next few days! A return to the upper-80s will be in full swing this weekend.
