Inside Scott: Weekend Edition
TGIF! 😎 Welcome to the weekend! Here’s a quick look at what’s happening in Scott County…
Weather
⛈️ Rain chances will be the main weather story this weekend!
Almanac: Sunrise/Sunset: 6:21/9:01 • Records: 93° (1978), 47° (1970) • YTD Rainfall: 31.9” (Normal: 30.5”)
Details: We will only see a slight chance for isolated thunderstorms this afternoon, as temperatures again top out close to 90°. Those rain chances will quickly diminish after sunset, giving way to humid temperatures that don’t drop below 70° tonight. There’s a much better chance for thunderstorms the next couple of days, as a cold front approaches the region. However, just because rain is likely doesn’t mean it’ll rain a lot. Rainfall totals should prove to be rather meager, except for areas that actually wind up under a thunderstorm.
Further Out: Temperatures will be much milder on Monday, only topping out around 80°. We’ll quickly rebound, though, with temperatures approaching 90° once more on Tuesday. The next couple of weeks look hot, with an average chance of rain for this time of year. An early look at Independence Day shows a 50% chance of thunderstorms.
River Conditions: Officially, about eight-tenths of an inch of rain were recorded by the National Weather Service in Oneida Wednesday night. As a result, the Big South Fork River is flowing slightly above normal for this time of year — about 240 cfs as of late last night. Typical streamflow for this time of year is around 200 cfs. Further upstream, less rainfall was received. The Clear Fork River is only flowing slightly above 30 cfs, which is below normal for this time of year. However, an inch of rain was recorded at the Burnt Mill Bridge USGS gauge, which helps explain the higher river rise downstream.
The Latest
