Weekend Storm Chances

We saw plenty of sunshine across south central Kentucky and Bowling Green today with temperatures reaching the mid 80s across our DMA. Unfortunately, this area of high pressure will move off to our east, bringing rain chances into the forecast for your weekend once again.

Bowling Green Conditions This Afternoon

As we head into the weekend, a cold front will work its way from the west to our area. Before the cold front arrives, we will experience a warm front moving into the area, bringing temperatures into the lower 90's with higher dew points. The cold front will eventually move through the area Saturday and Sunday.

Cold Front Approaching Saturday

The lift in the atmosphere at times across Kentucky is enough to create some storms in the afternoon both Saturday and Sunday. In fact, the SPC is monitoring the chance for both severe weather Saturday and Sunday.

Saturday's Severe Weather Chances

While Bowling Green isn't in the risk for severe weather on Saturday; a few storms are possible. As we head into Sunday, Bowling Green is included in the Day 3 outlook below with a 30% hatched risk for severe weather.

Sunday's Severe Weather Chances

We are still days away from Sunday, and a lot can change. Be sure to stay updated with the WKU Storm Team on Twitter and Facebook for the latest. We also have a new tab on the blog titled severe weather. We will use that as a "live blog" for updates if needed this weekend.
