Warmer Temperatures and Rain Returning

It has been a gorgeous day across south central Kentucky.  Bowling Green topped out at a high of 77° this afternoon, which is right on par with our normal high temperature for this time of year.  However, warmer temperatures will be returning.  As shown in the graphic below, highs will be in the low 80s tomorrow.  Depending on cloud cover, we may break the 80° mark every day for the rest of this week.

Unfortunately, the rest of this week will not be quite as nice as today.  Although clouds will increase as we head through the day tomorrow, we will stay dry.  However, as we go through Thursday night and into Friday, we do have a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms. 

Rain chances will continue from Thursday night all the way into the start of next week in association with low pressure systems tracking to our north.  Since we have only had 0.08 inches of rain so far this month, I would say we could use a nice shower.  Right now it looks as if our highest chance of rain will be on Saturday.  They say rain on your wedding day is good luck.  For all you WKU seniors, I hope that holds true for graduation days too because this might be a wet one.

Tonight:  Mostly clear skies, lows near 50°, and light winds out of the ENE.

Tomorrow:  Mostly cloudy skies, highs near 82°, and winds out of the south at around 5-8 mph.

Tomorrow Night:  Mostly cloudy skies, a 20% chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms, and winds out of the south at around 3-6 mph.

Thanks for reading, and have a great night!
