After the rain...a really nice week

After the rain a really nice week is on tap for the region. Gads, we picked up over 1.25" of rain Sunday evening and Monday morning here at the Weather Center. That's a lot of water! But, now the good weather is coming.
Beginning Tuesday and continuing right on through the rest of the week we are going to have lots of sunshine and very nice temperatures. When I was a kid we used to call this "Canada weather" because it felt like it did when we took our summer vacations in Canada. You can check out the forecast daily at the bottom of the hour on 88.9 FM to see if it holds up, but basically we are looking for sunny skies with daytime highs in the 70s through Friday.
FOURTH OF JULY WEEKEND is evening looking good. Now, understand that this is a long ways away (like almost a week), but everything is pointing to dry weather and pleasant summertime temperatures for Saturday, Sunday and evening Monday.  Can we do it?  Let's hope so!

A nice Friday and a hot weekend...

A nice Friday and a rather toasty weekend is coming up across the area.
Tomorrow is going to be really nice...lots of sun, comfortable dew points, and temperatures in the lower 80s.  However, as we head into the weekend we are going to see the heat crank up again along with a chance of showers and thunderstorms. Looks like we'll have a better chance of the showers and thunderstorms later in the day Saturday and then rather muggy conditions on Sunday.
If you are looking for cool, I'm seeing a pool of much cooler air heading across the lower Great Lakes about mid-week next week.  We could see daytime highs only in the mid 70s for a couple of days. However, the heat will return shortly thereafter.

Gonna be a hot one!

This is summer! Today is going to be a hot, summer day across the North Coast. Temperatures this afternoon will top out near 90 degress. Combine that with a dewpoint in the upper 60s and it's going to be rather uncomfortable.

Relief is on the way though. A cooler air mass will move in tomorrow and by late in the day it will feel better.

Looking for an ideal day? Try Friday...mostly sunny, pleasant, and less humid with a high around 80. That's what I like!

Kinda stuffy for now, but that will change

Hot and humid July/August type weather is going to be around through midweek, but by the weekend it will feel much better. It's still going to be warm, but the dew point will drop, so it's actually going to be fun to be outside.

Friday looks like the best day with lots of sun and temperatures in the lower 80s. We will warm up a few more degrees on Saturday and Sunday, but the air is not going to be all that uncomfortable.

We could see a few scattered showers or thunderstorms (most likely Saturday overnight), but if you have weekend plans, enjoy whatever you are going to be doing. It should be good.

Looks like a rather typical week

It's going to be another rather cool week across NE Ohio. Normally we should be in the mid 60s for our daytime highs. With the exception of Wednesday, which will be a bit warmer, daytime highs should be near or slightly below normal this week.

A cold front is headed into the region on Tuesday and that will trigger some rain, but other than that, only a few late week showers are in the forecast.

So, generally, a rather typical fall week is in store the us.

Enjoy!

Fall begins this week

OK...I've been a bit lax recently in updating the blog. It's just been kind of boring. I mean like no really exciting weather patterns have been developing. (insert yawn)

This week is going to be no exception. If you check out the midweek map at left, you'll see a LOW pressure system over the middle part of the country and a jet stream well to the north of us. Translated, that means occasional clouds and showers and warm temperatures. The normal daytime high for this time of year should be around 70. We are going to be several degrees above that through midweek. Next week, if the projected pattern holds, we'll get back to normal and perhaps a bit below. Meantime, when Autumn begins at 5:18pm Tuesday, it's not gonna feel very much like fall.

Enjoy!

A return to fall-like weather

So this morning on my way to the Weather Center, I saw this squirrel with a nut in his mouth walking high above the road on a wire. Kinda reminded me that Fall isn't too far off. In fact this coming week is going to feel very much like early fall.

A mass of cool air is headed into Ohio and daytime high temperatures this week will be in the low to mid 70s. In fact, on Sunday we'll probably not get out of the 60s. We're even likely to see some lake effect rain showers do to the cool air blowing over the warmer waters of Lake Erie.

Well, as the monkey said when he got his tail caught in the lawnmower, "It won't be long now."
