Good evening, everyone! What a lovely start to Autumn we’ve had! If you have been happy with the forecast lately, we have good news for you!

Tomorrow, the forecast will once more be influenced by high pressure, promoting clear skies and dry conditions. Those warmer temperatures will stick around, with our high reaching the mid 80’s. Though, humidity will remain low, making for a prefect day to spend outdoors. By night, temperatures will drop into the lower 60’s, so make sure to have a sweatshirt on hand if you have a bonfire.

We hope you have a great work week!

Good morning readers, and happy Monday!

Forecast

What a pleasant and cool weekend we had! If you were a fan of the cooler weather like I was, I regret to inform you that temperatures will rebound into the mid 80s for the next few days. Along with those warmer temperatures, you can expect abundant sunshine for your day today. Tonight, you can expect more clear weather with temperatures dipping into the low 60’s. It is certainly shaping up to be a great week for outdoor activities, a change from our wet weather last week.

Weather Fact!

On this date in 1936, an early-season snowstorm dumped 21.3 inches of snow in Denver, Colorado. (NWS)

I think a snowstorm sounds pretty great right about now 🙂 Have a great week everyone!

Good afternoon, fellow readers!

Yesterday marked the official start to Autumn and the forecast has reflected the new seasonal trend rather well! For the rest of the week, skies will be clear and winds will be light with no chances of precipitation in sight. Today, our high will struggle to reach the 70 degree mark, but with each day, this will increase, with our high on Sunday reaching the upper 70’s. Moreover, we will have that seasonal low humidity, making for comfortable conditions.

Get outdoors! Have a great rest of your week!

Good afternoon everyone!

Forecast

Stepping outside today is a treat! Temperatures are nice and cool out there for you today, not climbing out of the lower 60’s. Later this evening the lingering rain should clear out, allowing us to dry out overnight, and for the next few days. Overnight lows in the upper 40’s will have you waking up tomorrow craving a pumpkin spice latte! The weekend is shaping up to be a beautiful one, so go ahead and make those weekend plans!

Weather Fact!

On this date in 1989, Hurricane Hugo made landfall in the Carolinas as a Category 5 storm with winds up to 140 mph. Hugo caused $7 billion in damage in the United States, and the death toll was 76. (NWS)

Have a great rest of your week, and enjoy the cooler air!

Good evening, everyone!

By now, the cold front has reached our county, promoting chances of precipitation that will be widespread for the remainder of the night. As of now, the National Weather Service has issued a Flood Advisory until 11:45PM tonight, as heavy rainfall is likely with the developing storms. We may have precipitation totals of up to 2-3 inches by the end of the night! If you plan on driving throughout this period, be careful, as localized flash flooding is possible. Always remember: turn around, don’t drown!

Stay safe!

Good morning everyone, and happy Monday!

Forecast

What a rainy pattern we have settled into! Today you can expect more of the same, with widespread rain and thunderstorms throughout most of the day. Remember, with the potential for locally heavy rain, be careful traveling and stay aware of the current weather conditions. As a result of the rain, temperatures will not climb that much, topping out in the mid 70’s today. Later this evening and overnight, we do get a chance to dry out a bit before our next rain chance tomorrow, with overnight lows in the upper 60’s. A drier and slightly cooler pattern is expected to set in later this week, so stay tuned for that!

Weather Fact!

On this day in weather history in 1811, the first documented U.S. tornado to take more than ten lives was recorded. This tornado took place in Charleston, SC, and was the result of a hurricane landfall in the area. (NWS)

Stay dry out there, folks!

Good afternoon, everyone!

Today, we have had high pressure fighting off those pesky storm chances for our region of the state, leaving us with fair skies and rather comfortable conditions. However, the remnants of Nicholas will promote the return of a rather active trend into our weekend. For each day that remains in our week, storm chances will remain scattered. Our main concern will be once again with heavy rainfall, to which will bring about the potential for localized flash flooding. Other than that, high and low temperatures will remain uniform, peaking in the mid 80’s and bottoming out in the upper 60’s. If thunder isn’t heard, get outdoors and relax this weekend!

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!

Good morning everyone!

Forecast

For today, you can expect quite a soaker, as the National Weather Service in Louisville has issued a Flash Flood Watch for today until 7pm CDT.

As always, please allow yourself some extra travel time with the risk of flooding. Most importantly, TURN AROUND, DON’T DROWN. With the potential for flash flooding, check your local weather and traffic before you go out.

The widespread rain and thunderstorms end later this morning, followed by a quick afternoon break, then back to storm chances this evening with a cold front passing through the area. Expect temperatures to hang in the mid to upper 70’s. Tonight, the rain clears out, followed by partly cloudy skies and lows in the upper 60s. Tomorrow we get the chance to dry out, as temperatures rebound into the mid 80’s and partly sunny skies.

Weather Fact!

It may be wet out there today, but it does not hold a candle to December 7th, 1924, when Bowling Green set a daily precipitation record with a whopping 6.15″ of precipitation! (NWS Louisville)

Stay dry out there folks!

Good afternoon, everyone!

Tomorrow, our trend of dry, sunny conditions will be replaced with a rather active one for the remainder of the week. For the morning and afternoon hours, scattered showers and storms will be likely throughout the south central region of the state, ahead of a cold front. Our main threats include gusty winds, heavy rainfall, small hail, and lightning. If you plan on spending any time outdoors tomorrow, remember to get indoors if any thunder is heard!

Moreover, this will promote a muggier feel to the air, further adding to the heat as temperatures top out in the lower 80’s. I don’t know about you, but I am definitely ready for summer to be officially over!

Good evening, everyone! For today’s post, we will be taking a look at the forecast for tomorrow and into the weekend!

For the remainder of the week, high pressure will make for an abundance of sunshine and dryness. Moreover, temperatures will be trending upwards as we progress into and throughout the weekend. For tomorrow, the high will reach lower 80’s, then the mid 80’s for the following day, and finally the upper 80’s to close out our weekend. For the most part, it will feel only a bit humid, as dew points top out in the mid 60’s each day. If you plan to spend time outdoors (to which we strongly encourage), be sure to have protection from the sunlight and water at all times to stay cool and hydrated.

Other than that, we hope that you have a wonderful end to the week! Enjoy this beautiful weekend!
