Less Hot and Humid

We have seen some miserably hot and muggy weather recently.  However, thanks to a cold front, we now get to enjoy cooler and less humid conditions for the midweek.  That cold front brought us nearly a quarter inch of rain early in the day today.  However, now that it has passed, our winds have turned and will be coming from the north, which is responsible for our more pleasant conditions.

Today’s high was 89° in Bowling Green.  As shown below, we will be cooling off slightly with afternoon highs in the mid to upper 80s tomorrow and Thursday.  The best part is that, thanks to lower humidity, it will actually feel like the mid to upper 80s instead of having heat index values that are much hotter. Lows will be ranging from the upper 60s to low 70s.

As shown below, the cold front that moved through earlier today is stalling out to our south and becoming a stationary front.  That stationary front is going to shift slightly northward tomorrow night and Thursday, which will bring us a chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms.  Most of the rain with stay to our south, but we may see a few showers and storms here in south central Kentucky.  There is no severe weather threat anticipated.

Looking further ahead, we will dry out on Friday and temperatures will begin to rise again.  Afternoon temperatures will be running right around 90° on both Friday and Saturday.  Another chance of scattered showers and thunderstorms is expected to arrive on Sunday.  However, most of the weekend looks like it will be dry.

Forecast:

Tonight:  Partly cloudy skies, lows near 70°, and light winds out of the northwest.

Tomorrow:  Partly cloudy skies, highs near 87°, and winds out of the northeast at around 3-6 mph.

Tomorrow Night:  Mostly cloudy skies, a 30% chance of late showers and thunderstorms, lows near 68°, and light winds out of the northeast.

Thursday:  Mostly cloudy skies, a 40% chance of showers and thunderstorms, highs near 85°, and winds out of the east at around 3-6 mph.
