The cold air has come rushing back in thanks to a cold front passing through the region and the winds will remain gusty for much of the day. Our high temperature today was actually overnight, therefore the temperature will continue to drop as we head throughout the day. Low 40s by the 5 o clock hour look likely with an isolated shower possible between 3pm and 6pm.
Here is a quick look at the region. Snow stretches from far western Illinois through the Northeast with rain and storms on the southern half. The cold front is draped right over central Kentucky and will continue to slide east as the day progresses.
Most of the area saw quick hitting heavy rain showers this morning and some wind gusts upwards of 40mph. Our official rain total from these storms at the Mesonet was 0.1 inches.
So what can we look forward to tomorrow?
The temperature when you wake up tomorrow morning will be in the lower 20s. A few areas north and east of Bowling Green may even dip into the upper teens.
We will warm up some tomorrow, but nothing like what we saw Tuesday. However, it will be a much nicer day tomorrow than today as the sun will be out and we will reach a high around 46 degrees.
Friday will be rather lovely with a high in the low 60s and the sun shining. But another front will move through the area and bring rain and slightly cooler weather with it for your weekend.
