Inside Scott: Mid-Week Edition
🐪 Good Wednesday morning, Scott County! Here’s a look at what’s happening in the community…
Weather
⛈️ Storms and showers remain likely today and tomorrow as our unsettled weather pattern continues.
Almanac: Sunrise/Sunset: 6:37/8:51 • Records: 95° (1999), 52° (2019) • YTD Rainfall: 33.4” (Normal: 35.2”).
Details: We’re stuck in a pattern with relatively cool temperatures and plenty of rain coverage each day. As has been the case the past few days, there’s no way to know for sure where the heaviest showers and thunderstorms will set up today, but there’s a strong chance that anyone in any area will see rain today. Temperatures will be in the upper 70s. The same forecast will hold true for tomorrow, before rain chances start to diminish a bit and temperatures start to warm on Friday. Isolated areas where the heaviest showers set up could see an additional two to three inches of rain between now and the end of the day tomorrow.
Further Out: Temperatures will be back in the mid 80s as soon as Saturday. Rain again becomes likely on Sunday. Temperatures won’t be too bad for much of next week — about normal for this time of year. But a return to above-average temperatures may be in store by next weekend.
River Conditions: Streamflows are above average for the first time in weeks. The Big South Fork River spiked all the way to 2,500 cfs yesterday, but has quickly settled down to around 500 cfs as the day began. That’s still above normal for this time of year. Further upstream, where there has been significantly less rainfall this week, Clear Fork is flowing about normal for this time of year, at around 45 cfs. Water clarity is good on Clear Fork, and poor on New River and Big South Fork.
