A Look at the Labor Day Weekend

   Things are still a little shaky, but the Labor Day weekend weather is starting to come into better focus.
   The weekend will start out dry and warm. Saturday may end up being the best day of the 3-day weekend. The only complaint will probably be that it's going to be quite muggy.  The daytime high will be in the mid 80s.

   Sunday temperatures will continue to be hot as a push of warm air continues to surge across the lower Great Lakes ahead of an approaching cold front that will arrive on Monday. The combination of the warm and unstable air with the approach of the front will trigger showers and thunderstorms. The big question is how frequent and widespread will they be?
   That's something that is going to be hard to pin down. My advise to you right now would be go ahead and plan your weekend gigs. If a shower or storm rolls over your house, just hope it keeps on moving and doesn't' stall out.
   Labor Day itself will be much like Sunday, except a little cooler and maybe with more showers and storms do to the proximity of the cold front.
   After the holiday, much cooler and refreshing air will move in NE Ohio. Daytime highs Tuesday through Friday will likely be in the lower end of the 70s and will perhaps not get out of the 60s for a day or two.

Wednesday Forecast, August 28

   Over an inch of rain fell in the last 24 hours here in the Greater Akron area.  After we get more showers this morning, we will start to dry out.
   Looks good as we end up the week and head into the weekend. Lots of sun in the forecast. We are going to have to watch for the development of scattered storms on Sunday and Monday, but right now it's too early to pin down the timing. I wouldn't worry about it if you are planning outdoor activities.

Wednesday, August 28	Mostly cloudy with scattered showers and storms ending by afternoon followed by some sun late in the day. Continued muggy. High around 80
At Night	Becoming less cloudy. Low 66
Thursday, August 29	Sunny and becoming a bit less muggy. High 82
Friday, August 30	Mostly sunny. High 83
Saturday, August 31	Partly sunny. High 80-85

Tuesday Forecast, August 27

   Warm and muggy air will move into the region today and that will lead to some showers and thunderstorms. Looks like the best chance for the wet weather will be during the overnight, but it will likely get started with scattered storms in the afternoon and evening hours.

   Meanwhile, the upcoming holiday weekend is looking very warm. Daytime highs will be in the mid 80s all three days. There will be a chance of some rain late Sunday and Monday, but right now it's too early to get excited about it. At the moment, it doesn't look like anything that would totally quash your weekend fun.

Tuesday, August 27	Muggy with lots of clouds and scattered showers and storms with the best chance during the afternoon and evening hours. High 83
At Night	Showers and storms. Low 68
Wednesday, August 28	Mostly cloudy with a few morning showers and storms followed by some sun during the afternoon. Continued muggy. High 84

Friday, August 30	Mostly sunny. High 82

Monday Forecast, August 26

It's going to feel like the "Dog Days of August" this week. By midweek it will be hot and humid. Great weather for all of those kids going back to school with no A/C. On Wednesday, we could even come close to 90 for the afternoon high.  So, yeah...where was this two weeks ago?

The warm, summertime weather which eluded us the first half of August is now back and will remain with us through the Labor Day weekend.  The current projection is for daytime high temperatures to be in the 80s all of next week...and right on through Labor Day.  After Labor Day, a cool down appears to be in the works, but that's still a ways out.

As for rain, the week should be mostly dry. A period of showers is possible Tuesday night and/or Wednesday, but otherwise, expect lots of sun.
