Rainy Days Ahead

It was a beautiful day out there today with highs near 80° and clear blue skies.  However, the high pressure system that brought us sunny skies today is expected to weaken fairly quickly and move out to our east.  Cloud cover will begin to increase tonight but we should remain dry.  I cannot say the same for tomorrow.  Rain is creeping back into the forecast for the rest of this week.

A warm front is headed our way, and it will be bringing cloudy skies as well as scattered showers with it.  That front is expected to then transition into a stationary front and stall out over our area.  So, we expect to see a chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms for the remainder of the week as that front very slowly makes its way through. 

Although some of these thunderstorms may be strong, severe weather is not expected at this time.  We will, however, see plenty of rain.  The graphic above shows predicted rainfall totals for tonight through tomorrow evening.  We have already had 1.1” of rain so far this month in Bowling Green.  We may double that total by the end of this week.  We had one of the driest Septembers on record here in Bowling Green, but now that it is October, we just cannot seem to shake this rain!

Forecast:

Tonight:  Partly cloudy skies, lows near 52°, and calm winds.

Tomorrow:  Mostly cloudy skies, 60% chance of showers and thunderstorms, highs near 78°, and winds out of the SSE at around 5 mph.

Tomorrow Night:  Mostly cloudy skies, 60% chance of showers and thunderstorms, lows near 62°, and light winds out of the south.

Thanks for reading, and have a great night!
