Warm with Showers and T-Storms Possible

It will be warm again today with highs climbing to nearly 80°.  Bowling Green had a high temperature of 80° yesterday as well.  Normal high temperatures for this time of year would be around 67°, so we will be running 10-15° above average in many places today.

Like yesterday, although today will be warm, it will not exactly be pretty.  We will see persistent cloud cover throughout the day as well as a 40% chance of showers and thunderstorms due to the low pressure system and associated stationary front to our north depicted in the graphic below.  Some of these storms could produce heavy rain and possibly very small hail and gusty winds.  Although there is only a marginal risk or severe weather in our area, it is possible we could see a severe thunderstorm warning sometime today.  So, keep an eye on the weather.  We will keep you updated as best we can on Facebook and Twitter.

Looking ahead, tomorrow looks like it will be very similar to today. However, the cold front on the back side of this system will move through on Friday.  After that, we will see clearer conditions and more seasonable temperatures for rest of Friday and into the weekend.

Forecast:  Cloudy skies, a 40% chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms, highs near 80°, and winds out of the SSW at around 6-12 mph.

Thanks for reading, and have a great day!
