Warm Again Tomorrow, Changes Ahead

October is certainly off to a warm start!  As shown in the graphic below from the Kentucky Mesonet, Bowling Green hit the forecasted high of 87°, but some places got even warmer.  Russellville made it all the way up to 90°!  Tomorrow is expected to be very warm as well.  However, for those of you who simply cannot take this heat any longer, we have some good news.


The ridge that has been bringing us these clear blue skies but unseasonably warm temperatures will only be controlling our weather for one more day!  The cold front that is currently situated over the plains is going to make its way into our area tomorrow evening and bring us some showers and thunderstorms tomorrow night into Friday.  Since yesterday marked the end of the fifth driest September on record for Bowling Green with only 0.37” of rain for the entire month, that rain is much needed.


What is even better than the rain the cold front is bringing is the temperatures that are following behind it.  Tomorrow begins WKU’s Fall Break, and this weekend it will actually feel a bit like fall! Once that front and the rain that goes with it push out of the area on Friday, we will be looking at high temperatures in the 60s for the weekend!

Forecast:

Tonight:  Mostly clear skies, lows near 60°, and light winds out of the southeast.

Tomorrow:  Partly cloudy skies, a 20% chance of isolated showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon, highs near 90°, and winds  out of the south at around 8-10 mph.

Tomorrow Night:  Mostly cloudy skies, a 90% chance of showers and thunderstorms, lows near 67°, and winds out of the south at around 8-10 mph.

Thank you for reading!
