Good Tuesday, folks. As temps continue to toast up over the next few days, the focus continues to be on a big blast of crisp air rolling in here later this week. That’s bringing a full blown Pot of Chili WATCH. This comes from the first of two deep troughs diving into the region over the next week or so.
As usual, let’s kick things off with what’s going on out there today. Temps are well into the 80s with a 90 or low 90 in the west. There’s still the slightest chance for a shower or storm going up…
Wednesday is the toastiest day until next summer with temps 85-90 east and 90-95 west. Winds are rather gusty as clouds increase ahead of our strong fall cold front sweeping in here Wednesday night and Thursday. This brings a band of showers and storms with it as our temps take a big time tumble…
Highs for Thursday and Friday are in the upper 60s and low 70s with lows by Friday morning in the low and middle 40s for most…
Can one of the colder spots sneak into the upper 30s? Hmmm.
A weak system overspreads the region Saturday with some clouds and a small shower or thunderstorm risk. Temps are in the 70s.
A much stronger fall storm system rolls through with showers and storms Sunday into Monday. We now have good model agreement on this…
EURO
GFS

Temps are back into the upper 60s and low 70s for highs early next week with lows heading back into the 40s.
From there, that sprawling high may camp out across the Great Lakes and New England as the tropics try to spin something up down in the Gulf. That’s something most models, including the EURO, are strongly hinting at…
Have a terrific Tuesday and take care.
Thanks Chris, Sounds like great September weather, especially for next week. Hopefully, all areas that need Rain will receive such ? Hopefully, those high temperatures today and tomorrow along with higher dew points will be held back by some afternoon cloudiness ?
Here’s the latest chart on the Tropical Pacific SST. With a La Nina this strong we will need a record breaking negative NAO to override this monster, to produce a Cold, Snowy Winter ? Here’s the link :

The clouds and radar looked promising yesterday morning, but as is usually the case this year, it dissipated before dropping any rain. We hit 91.2°F for a high, today’s high in Bowling Green is forecasted to be 94°F, and tomorrow’s high is supposed to reach 97°F. Thursday’s high is forecasted to be 76°F, and normally we’d look for some heavy, rain producing storms with a 21° drop in temperature, but this front is moisture-starved, so the local forecast is only calling for a 60% chance of a shower in spots. Not the kind of relief I’d hoped for in B.G.
Same here Joe. I know that the Southeast Ridge is responsible for limiting the coverage of precipitation South of the Ohio River. Maybe a better chance with the next cold front ? That’s the way it normally is, but what’s normal these days ?
Identical to last September 20th forecast, but with more rain with the chilly weather, but no mini heat wave.

Bro I’m starting to really question these airport thermometers.
Mark, I always thought that locating thermometers at airports was a little strange since it’s not where people “live”, although when I was flying a lot for my job, I sometimes thought I lived there! Many of those sensors have been there a long time, but I think that pilots need accurate temperature readings. Not sure whether it’s the NWS or the FAA’s responsibility for maintenance and/or replacement.
