It has been a rainy first half of the week here in Bowling
Green, but it has also been a rainy first half to the month. We have already had almost 5 inches of rain
in just this first half of October, and over half of that fell this week! So, some
clearer conditions are definitely overdue.
The good news is that that is exactly what we have in store for this
weekend.
The low pressure system that brought us so many days of rain will continues
to become cutoff and push off to the northeast and off the coast. Then, as shown in the 250 mb map above, a
more zonal upper level flow is going to settle in and clear conditions are going
to dominate much of the US. As shown in the graphic below, we will have
a weak cold front move through on Friday afternoon and evening, but it is not
expected to bring us any rain.
As we be take a break from all this rain, you will not be
needing your umbrella this weekend.
However, you may want to keep your jacket handy. Our average high temperature for mid-October
is 71°. Tomorrow we are actually going
to exceed that, but this weekend we will be back down into the 60s.

Tonight: Mostly clear skies, lows near 48°, and
winds out of the south at around 3-5 mph.
