EvansvilleWatch Forecast for Monday, August 20th, 2012


Warnings, Watches, and Advisories: None

STARTING OFF SCHOOL COOLER: Today is the first day of classes at USI and it won’t be hot like last year. Looks to be a cool day today with highs in the lower 80s. We do have a weak system that will give way to some showers and thunderstorms across the Tri-State, but overall should stay mostly sunny. Slight chance of rain overnight with some clouds and in the upper 50s.

WARM THRU THE WEEK: An high pressure will come in for the next few days and start warming us up. Highs for Tuesday and Wednesday to be in the mid-80s with Thursday and Friday in upper 80s. Overnight Tuesday and Wednesday, skies clear out and we stay in the upper 50s to near 60. I did put in a chance of some showers on Tuesday. I do believe the models did overdo it some, but just to be safe, we might have some locations in the Tri-State that might have a shower or two.

RAIN FOR THE WEEKEND: Chance of rain for the weekend as we await a cold front on Sunday. Best chance of rain will come on Sunday as the front nears. Rain chances stay in the isolated to widely scattered range. Skies do stay partly sunny with highs in the upper 80s.

SEVERE WEATHER RISK: No threat of severe weather for the next seven days at this. The thunderstorms we will have today will be more of a lighting hazard than anything else. Storms for the weekend could be strong at times. We’ll fine tune the forecast and let you know later.

TROPICAL UPDATE: We have four systems out in the tropics to talk about it. Hurricane Gordon is a category 1 storm, located 50 miles East of Santa Maria Island in the Azores, max winds at 75MPH, moving East-Northeast at 15MPH, and pressure is at 29.15” (As of 5AM AST Advisory). Onto our other three systems out in the Atlantic.
1: Showers and thunderstorms continue to show signs of organization associated with a tropical wave and a low pressure area located about 1250 miles East of the Lesser Antilles. Environmental conditions are conducive for a tropical depression to form during the next day or so as the large disturbance moves westward at 20-25MPH. This system has a high chance, 80%, of becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 48 hours.
2: Cloudiness and showers associated with a surface trough located over the Southwestern Gulf of Mexico have changed little during the past several hours. However, some gradual development of this system is possible during the next day or so if the disturbance remains offshore. This system has a low chance, 20%, of becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 48 hours. Regardless of development, heavy rainfall is possible in the Mexican States of Tamulipas and Varacruz during the next day or two.
3: A tropical wave located about 150 miles South of the Cape Verde Islands is producing scattered showers and a few thunderstorms. Some gradual development is possible over the next few days as the disturbance moves Westward at 15-20MPH. This system has a low chance, 20%, of becoming a tropical cyclone during the next 48 hours.

EVANSVILLE CLIMATE DATA: Average high for today is 88 and average low is 65. Records are 102 in 1983 and 50 in 1967. Sunset tonight is at 7:36PM and sunrise on Tuesday at 6:11AM.

Again everyone, classes start today at USI, so the West Side is going to be busy. I’ll try to have an update this afternoon after I get done with my classes. Have a great day and God bless.
