Bowling Green has already broken the August rainfall record and we
still have more rain on the way for today! Bowling Green's rain total
for the month is 10.25 inches, with 1.9 inches falling over the past 24
hours. Here is a look at the monthly and yearly rainfall accumulation
maps to show where south central Kentucky stands compared to normal.
These first two maps show the total monthly rainfall across the state and the departure from normal.
The next two maps show the yearly rainfall and the departure from normal for the year.
Even
with all the rain in Bowling Green a moderate drought continues across
portions of the region. Far western Warren County stretching across much
of western Kentucky have seen below average rainfall for the past few
months. Thankfully, the slow and steady rainfall last night and this
morning will help dampen the drought a bit across the area.
Today's Forecast
The
morning and early afternoon will be mainly wet. By mid afternoon the
bulk of the rain looks to move out of the area. The simulated
reflectivity from the HRRR shows some pockets of heavier rain trying to
push through around lunch before finally moving out later this
afternoon.
The clouds and rain will help keep it cooler across the region today with high temperatures topping out around 81 degrees.
Weekly Forecast
Temperature
will remain seasonable, topping out in the upper 80's to near 90 each
day. Summer showers and storms are also possible each day this week with
the best chance coming on Tuesday. No day will be a washout, but some
storms will bring heavy rain to areas. The 7 day rainfall forecast from
the WPC shows an additional 1 - 2 inches of rain is possible this week.
