Temperatures were a bit
below average this Earth Day. Our normal
high for this time of year is around 72°.
However, today Bowling Green only reached a high of 65°. We have not made it into the 70s since
Sunday.
Tomorrow will be rather
similar to today with temperatures in the low to mid 60s. As shown in the graphic below, it will be mostly sunny and rather pleasant
as a high pressure system moves in over our area. However, the clouds will build back in on
Friday ahead of a low pressure system.

That low pressure system
will move in from the southwest and bring with it yet another chance of rain. This system is expected to bring chances of
showers and thunderstorms to our area beginning later in the day on Friday. These scattered showers and storms will be
with us throughout the day on Saturday and into Sunday morning.

We did not receive any rain in Bowling Green today. However, as shown in the table
above, our rainfall total for the month of April so far is 8.8 inches, which
makes this the 5th wettest April in Bowling Green history. With more rain in the forecast, that rain total
will continue to grow. This month could
rank even higher before April is over.
Looking ahead, Friday
will be a bit cloudier but rather similar to tomorrow until the rain moves in. We will break the 70° mark again on Saturday but
that warmer weather will be coupled with scattered showers. Then, we will dry out and cool back off for
the start of next week.
Forecast:
Tonight: Mostly clear skies, lows near 37°, and light
winds out of the WNW.
Tomorrow: Mostly sunny skies, highs near 62°, and winds
out of the northwest at around 5-10 mph.
Tomorrow Night: Mostly clear skies, lows near 36°, and calm
winds.
Thanks for reading, and
have a great night!
