Wabash, Wayne, White Counties [IL], Daviess, Henderson, Hopkins, McLean,
Muhlenberg, Webster Counties [KY] until 7PM CDT Sunday…
OVERNIGHT THRU SUNDAY: The main area of Isaac will stay
off towards our west and north during the Labor Day weekend. However, we will
still have what is left of him in the Tri-State. Clouds will start to increase
overnight and we do have a chance of some showers and thunderstorms also. Our best
chance will be more towards daybreak. After tonight, our rain chances will stay
from 50-70% until Sunday. Our biggest chance of rain will come Friday Night and
Sunday. Highs for next few days will be in the 80s with overnight lows in the
lower 70s. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday will have wind gust of over 30MPH at
times.
MONDAY AND TUESDAY: We are going to be on the back side
of “Isaac” on Monday and our rain chances drop to 35-40%. A weak cold front
will then move over early Tuesday and might spark off a few showers and
thunderstorms then. However, we will see the sun return. Highs for both days in
the upper 80s.
WEDNESDAY AND THURSDAY: Watching a couple more frontal
systems as they will bring anywhere from 20-30% chance of rain into the
Tri-State. While it won’t be like anything we will see this weekend, it will be
something to watch for now.
SEVERE WEATHER RISK: As this system moves into the area
over the weekend, we will see some things that we have not seen for a while. This
system is forecasted to be a slow mover and if so, heavy rainfall and flooding
is possible. We are forecasted by the HPC to receive from 3-6” of rain for the
Tri-State. With as dry as we have been, the ground is not going to take
everything in fast. Therefore, flash flooding is going to be something we will
be talking about. No formal Slight Risk of severe weather for the weekend by
the SPC, but we should see one later. Main threats will be damaging winds,
hail, isolated tornadoes, heavy rainfall, and flooding. Next Friday looks to be
as if we will have another severe weather chance, but is too early to tell at
this time.
