Fall Teaser Moving Out This Weekend


Today 8/28 – Sunny & Perfect! – High 86/Tonight – Mostly clear – Low 68

Good morning, Bowling Green! This week has been fantastic and it looks to pretty great for the majority of the weekend. An upper-level trough has created this beautiful fall-like weather and it is gradually moving off to the east. Expect temperatures to start to warm-up as surface high pressure moves eastward and winds become more southerly throughout the weekend.

Today, however, we don’t have to worry about much warm, humid air as high temperatures reach the mid 80s and dew points stay below 70. This is making me so excited for fall, but we still have some time before it arrives.

Saturday 8/29 – Sunny – High 88/Saturday Night – Cloudy; chance of scat’d showers – Low 70

Saturday will be a little more humid than today as winds turn southerly on the preceding edge of the low pressure systems in the plains.

High temperatures shouldn’t reach 90 degrees, so you can at least be thankful for that. Dew points could be in the 70s which will make it feel a bit muggy outside.

As the low pressure system moves closer overnight on Saturday, our chances for scattered showers and storms will increase, but not much precipitation is expected.

Sunday 8/30 – Mostly Cloudy; scat’d showers & storms – High 85/Sunday Night – Cloudy; scat’d showers and storms – Low 68

Rain chances are not outstanding for Sunday, however they cannot be ruled out. Models suggest we will see our highest chances of showers in the morning and evening hours. Otherwise, it will likely be a mostly cloudy day.

Cloud cover will keep the high temperature in the mid 80s, but expect a warm-up to follow for the early work week. It’s possible we will see some 90 degree weather creep back into the forecast for next week.
