What a beautiful and sunny day for our area! The Kentucky Mesonet has Bowling Green currently sitting at 73 degrees and the sunny skies have helped the temperature get there. Mostly clear skies will continue through today until the cold front approaching from the northwest gets closer. As the front approaches it will start to stall and slowly sink southward through tomorrow. Ahead of this front expect to see scattered showers with the chance of a few isolated thunderstorms. Although severe weather is not expected due to the lack of instability. Expected rainfall amounts are estimated to stay below an quarter of an inch for the next two days.
Showers will taper off into Friday night leading into a nice weekend for us all, although a few showers Saturday can’t be ruled out. Saturday and Sunday for the most part will be days full of partly cloud skies and temperatures in the mid to upper 70’s. However the sunshine will be taken over by a new developing low pressure system that is developing in the OK/TX panhandles. Sunday night showers will move back into the region.
