Today will be the last hot and humid day before a welcomed cold front
swings through the area and provides some relief. Scattered pop up
showers are possible this afternoon and evening as the front draws
closer. More available moisture and better lifting just to our north and
west will allow for more widespread showers across western Kentucky and
north toward southern Illinois. The latest HRRR and RAP models are in
pretty good agreement with the placement of rain this afternoon. This is
the simulated reflectivity from the HRRR model for 4pm today.
Across
the Bowling Green area we will see a 20% chance for a pop up
thunderstorm this afternoon and a slightly better chance for a
thunderstorm this evening. Thunderstorms will be spotty in nature, but
any storm that does develop may not move very fast due to slow storm
motion and could produce locally heavy rain. Isolated flooding events
are not out of the question with this type of setup. In general, 0.25 -
0.5 inches of rain looks like a good bet across much of the area through
Saturday evening.
Saturday
Saturday
doesn't look too promising if you were wanting to head outdoors. With
on and off rain showers likely most of the day, you would be better off
waiting until Sunday.
Sunday
With
temperatures topping out around 80 degrees and partly sunny skies,
Sunday will definitely be the pick of the weekend! Any leftover rain
showers from the cold front will move out during the early morning hours
of Sunday, leaving clearing skies throughout the afternoon.
