Chance of Rain for the Weekend

Discussion:
As the weekend approaches, so does the chance for rain. Bowling Green is directly between a high pressure system centered in Michigan, and a low pressure stationary system down around Florida. The high pressure will diminish on Saturday allowing for moisture to build up in the atmosphere. This will  bring a chance of rain and a thunderstorm or two for the whole weekend and even into Monday. Although there is a possibility of thunderstorms this weekend, these storms will be very scattered and will not be severe. The unseasonably low temperatures will remain in place, but will slowly rise as the humidity increases over our area. The chance for rain this weekend will be around 40% with the temperatures around the low 80s.


Forecast:

Saturday: Scattered showers and thunderstorms, mainly between 11am and 4pm. Partly sunny, with a high near 81. Calm wind becoming northeast 5 to 7 mph in the morning. Chance of precipitation is 40%.
Sunday: A 40% chance of showers and thunderstorms. Partly sunny, with a high near 81. Calm wind.
Monday: A 20% chance of showers and thunderstorms. Partly sunny, with a high near 83.
Tuesday: Mostly sunny with a high near 85.
