Hot and Dry Days Ahead

A trough moved across our region yesterday, which gave us the possibility of widely scattered storms throughout the state. However, Bowling Green received a whopping 0.00 inches of rain on Saturday according to the National Weather Service. But don’t fret! Our next chance of rain will come into the picture starting on Wednesday. Until then, sunny and dry conditions are expected. Ridging aloft allowed for a beautiful, sunny Sunday as highs reached the upper 80s; according to the Kentucky Mesonet, some areas of Warren County even hit 90°.



High pressure at the surface will allow temperatures to remain in the upper 80s/low 90s for the next few days as mostly sunny skies prevail. The start of the workweek will bring back those summer-like highs that are the norm for this time of year. Be sure to get out and enjoy the sun before rain chances return later this week! Along with a cold front that will move in within the next few days, Wednesday and Thursday may bring some scattered showers and thunderstorms.



Here are some weather fun facts about today: In Bowling Green, the normal temperatures for August 3rd are 90° as the high and 67° as the low. The record high for this day is recorded as 103° in 2011; the record low was set in 1920 at 52°. (Daily Climate Report-NWS)
