Clear Blue Skies to Continue

It has been a gorgeous day across south central Kentucky.  Afternoon temperatures were in the upper 70s under clear blue skies.  Bowling Green reached an official high of 78°, and our normal high this time of year is 83°.

Tomorrow, temperatures will be more seasonable as we continue on this slight warming trend that will be with us throughout this workweek.  The day will start off a bit cool with temperatures in the low 50s in the early morning hours.  However, we will warm up quickly and temperatures will be in the low to mid 80s in the afternoon.

All this sunshine and the increasing temperatures are due to a high pressure system that is currently over West Virginia.  That high pressure system is keeping our skies nice and clear.  Also, because the winds rotate clockwise around that center of high pressure, our winds are coming up from the south-southeast, which makes it even warmer.

Looking further ahead, that center of high pressure is going to stay parked over West Virginia and Virginia for most of the workweek.  So, our temperatures will steadily rise as warm air from the south continues to filter into the region.  However, that also means that we can expect plenty of sunshine!

Forecast:

Tonight:  Clear skies, lows near 51°, and light winds out of the SSE.

Tomorrow:  Sunny skies, highs near 84°, and winds out of the SSE at around 5-10 mph.

Tomorrow Night:  Mostly clear skies, lows near 54°, and light winds out of the SSE.

Thanks for reading, and have a great night!
