EvansvilleWatch Forecast for Thursday, August 30th, 2012


Warnings, Watches, and Advisories: Lake Wind Advisory for Gibson, Pike, Posey, Spencer, Vanderburgh, Warrick Counties [IN], Edwards, Union, 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.
