General cloudyness and northwest winds on Thursday will keep high’s in the upper 40′s. Thursday night there is a slight chance for light rain as a disturbance moves through the flow allowing for some precipitation. Low temps will be in the mid-30′s. Friday continues a chance for rain, however the trough should begin to lift and temps will increase as the airmass begins to modify. Highs will be in the mid 50′ s on Friday with lows in the low 40′s. The same can be said for Saturday with the exception of clearing and partly sunny skies. Further out, temps begin to moderate Sunday into Monday as a warm front passes through our area Sunday night, bringing temperatures into the 70′s on Monday. This will be short lived however,A as a low pressure system is predicted to impact the area with thunderstorms on Monday.

Forecast Discussion
Currently the upper level impusle that affected our weather last night is moving out of our area. Sky’s should begin clearing today as this impusle quickly moves east. Today looks drier, however still cool, with highs near the 50 degree mark. Tonight will also be dry as Bowling Green is on the edge of ridge of receding surface high pressure. It will again be a chilly night with low termperatrues of around 33. The next system that will affect our sensible weather should be in the form of a low pressure system that will be forming in western Texas. A trough of low pressure should begin to enter our area on Tues. increasing rain chances, with the more constant precipitation occuring on Tuesday night. This rain shouldnt be terribly heavy, however cooler temperatures on Tues night may support a mix of rain and snow well north of our area. This will not affect Bowling Green, and even areas well north of here would have a minimum impact as ground temps are too warm in late March. Temps on Tues should reach in the Mid 50s with rain chances increasing throughout the day.Tues night will be all rain for us with a low around 38. Rain chances dwindle on Wed, but temperatures will remain cool, with a high around 47 under cloudy skies. The weather will remain cool, with a warm up expected late this weekend.
