CovingtonWatch Forecast for Tuesday, August 21st, 2012


Warnings, Watches, and Advisories: None

FOGGY START: Some area of West Central Indiana and East Central Illinois are seeing some patchy fog this morning. This should all burn off as the sunrises for the day. After the fog burns, we have nothing but clear skies for the day with highs in the lower 80s. Mostly clear again overnight with clam winds giving us a chance of seeing some dense fog for the early morning hours. It will be cool, however, with lows once again in the lower 50s.

WARM THE REST OF THE WEEK: High pressure will be in control for part of this week and we say hello to clear skies. Sunny conditions for both Wednesday and Thursday with highs in the 80s. Clouds make a return Thursday Night into Friday. I am calling for skies to be mostly sunny to partly sunny at times on Friday with highs in the upper 80s and partly sunny for Saturday with highs in the upper 80s.

RAIN RETURNS: A cold front will sweep over Sunday Night into the day Monday giving us a chance of rain with our best chance being on Monday. Skies will be partly sunny on Sunday with highs in the upper 80s, but turn partly cloudy on Monday in the lower 80s.

SEVERE WEATHER RISK: No severe weather is forecasted at this time for Sunday and Monday, but some storms could be severe at times. Main threats would be damaging winds, lighting, and heavy rainfall.

TROPICAL UPDATE: Gordon is now in the history books. The NHC stopped putting out advisories for him last night. We know have Tropical Depression Nine and this is the one that might become Isaac. At the 5AM AST Advisory, it was located 715 miles East of the Leeward Islands, winds at 35MPH, moving West at 20MPH, and pressure was at 29.74”. Tropical Storm Warnings and Watches are already out. Forecast track has this becoming a tropical storm later today and a hurricane by Thursday. As for where this will hit, latest models have this hitting near the Florida, Georgia area along the East Coast, but still too early to tell right now. Two more systems in the Atlantic to talk about. System one is about 380 miles Southwest of the Cape Verde Islands, moving West at 15MPH, and has a 50% chance of becoming a tropical cyclone in the next 48 hours. System two is what was Tropical Storm Helene. Currently right now over the far Western Gulf of Mexico and not moving that much. Has about a 30% chance of becoming a tropical cyclone, again, and if it does it will have a different name.

COVINGTON CLIMATE DATA: Monday’s high was 79, low was 50, and precipitation total was 0.19”. Forecast high for Monday was 78. Average high for today is 85 and average low is 61. Records are 98 in 1983 and 47 in 1992. Sunset tonight is at 8:37PM and sunrise on Wednesday at 7:08AM.
