If we look at the radar, currently a few scattered light showers are making their way across the region this morning. But don’t get your hopes up, keep that rain gear handy because the heavier stuff will be making it’s way back into Bowling Green this afternoon just ahead of a strong cold front that is barreling towards us as we speak.

Weather Prediction Center Surface Analysis Map – The cold front to our east will be our next major rain maker this afternoon bringing us strong winds and even a few rumbles of thunder.

Thanks to some sweet southerly flow, Bowling Green will have another very warm day where some records might be shattered once again. Expect temperatures to top out near 75 degrees this afternoon with very gusty winds. It’s not a bad idea to make sure any outdoor holiday decorations are tied down extra tight, or even taken down not to risk them being damaged or blown away.

According to the models, the timing of this event looks to be right around dinner time, so bring your rain gear if you’re headed out this evening. Also, be prepared for a few rumbles of thunder and strikes of lightning as they can’t be ruled out.

Tomorrow looks to quiet down quite a bit as high pressure moves in behind the front giving us a much drier and cooler day. Temperatures will top out in the upper 40s under partly sunny skies.
