More Rain Ahead?

Good Evening!

The summer like heat made its return today with temperatures soaring into the low to mid 90s. The humidity values varied throughout the day, making the heat index fluctuate. At one time the heat index reached 98° in Bowling Green. Current temperatures around the region are in the upper 80s to low 90s. Here is a look at temperatures via the Kentucky Mesonet.

Current Temperatures as of 3:15 PM CDT

There still is a very slight chance that we will see an isolated shower later in the afternoon. But more than likely most places will not see any rainfall. Tomorrow looks to be a much better day for our rain chances as a low pressure system will move toward our area bringing with it a cold front that brings with it a decent shot of some rainfall. Rainfall amounts tomorrow night could range anywhere between 0.25" and 0.50".
