Good Wednesday to one and all. Our latest round of stormy weather is slowly sinking away from us as we get in on a few decent weather days. This is ahead of another stormy setup that blows in for the weekend and early next week. That’s being pushed by a blast of fall air.
Temps out there today range from the middle 70s to low 80s with a mix of sun and clouds. There’s still the chance for a shower or storm to go up, especially across the south as the system slides to our south. You can see that on our radars…
Thursday and Friday are dry days with a mix of sun and clouds continuing. Seasonable temps are noted for Thursday with the numbers spiking a bit on Friday. There’s also the chance for a shower or storm to get into southern Kentucky by Friday evening.
This is ahead of a potent upper low diving in here from the northwest this weekend. That system slowly spins through here into the first half of next week…
This setup brings widespread showers and storms ahead of it for Saturday and Sunday with more scattered stuff for Monday and Tuesday. There’s pretty good model agreement on all this…

Once again, heavy rainfall will likely cause a few local high water issues for parts of our region.
Temps will be held way down with most of us in the 70s from Saturday through Wednesday. Any one day with widespread clouds and rain will struggle to get to 70. Bring. It. On.
Have a great Wednesday and take care.
Not bad at all.
I agree, it’s not a bad forecast for very late Summer. Yesterday evening in the Southern part of the County of Taylor the Folks down there received over an inch of much needed rain. On the Northern side of the County, where I live we received next to nothing. Hoping we will receive that ” widespread rain ” that is showing up in the European and the American weather models this weekend followed by that ” push of Fall ” air for next week ?
In Warren County just south of Bowling Green where I live, It has been ages since we had a steady, soaking rain. We’ve either had 5-10 minute sprinkle, or a deluge, with a large percentage of that deluge running off the property. I think the last soaker was a couple of years ago, and was related to a tropical system.
Speaking of the tropics, the Hurricane Center’s 2-day outlook has added a tropical wave, west of the Cape Verde island, and give it a 40-60% chance of development. The bad news is it appears to be taking the same track as Earl. Their 5-day outlook shows the development of another tropical wave off the African coast, but they give that one a less than 40% chance of development. It’s depressing tropical forecast.
Maybe that’s why they call them tropical Depressions!
With high pressure located in the Gulf of Mexico I don’t see any organize tropical systems forming and surviving anytime soon. Joe, I remember Hurricane Juan back in the 1980’s. It rained gently over a very wide area for two days. I guess we will have to wait until Winter when we will have the best chance for receiving those ‘ all day soaking rains. ‘ What I miss the most are those heavy wet Snows we use to receive through the Winter back in South Central Indiana where I grew up. I don’t think heavy wet Snows occur that often anymore ? The last event I experience was in Vanderburgh County, Indiana December 23rd, 2004 when it Snowed two feet. With La Nina becoming stronger this Fall and Winter, there will probably be a lot of Snow and Cold well to our far North as well as in the Appalachian Mountain States. Where I live now Taylor County, we will just have to wait and hope for a weak El Nino to form as more Snowfalls occurs when that phase ENSO occurs. In my many years of observing Winter weather events weak El Nino’s most of the time produced the Snowiest Winters.
