The dry spell ends

After nine days of dry weather, we will start to pick up some rain this week.  The last time it rained was on Saturday, May 16th. Looks like we will see a chance of some showers on Tuesday (May 26). If not then more likely on Wednesday.

Over the holiday weekend a stationary front was hanging down to our south along the Ohio River. That kept us in the less humid and mild air. Tuesday that front will move northward. A cool front will approach from the west on Wednesday and then push east of the area on Thursday. Bottom line is that we are going to see a rather active weather pattern this week with periods of rain from time to time.

As for temperatures, they will remain mild in the 70s all week.    

Enjoy!

Sunshine and more sunshine

If you like active weather, this will not be your week.  HIGH pressure is going to be the primary influence across the lower Great Lakes pretty much all week.  A cool front will drip toward the northern part of the state midweek, but at this time it looks like it will stall out just north of the area. 

Generally, we are going to see nothing but lots of sun with a few clouds from time to time. Add to that gradually warming temperatures and this is going to be a really nice week to get out and do some yard work. (We might even hit 80 on Thursday!)

Enjoy!

Here comes the sun

Finally...after spending a couple of weeks under a blanket of clouds, this week looks to be a bit brighter. HIGH pressure will be a much more dominate influence than it was last week. 

At the moment, it does look like some showers and thunderstorms will rumble through late Wednesday and into Thursday, but the first part of the week looks to be dry.

Temperatures will start off on the cool side, especially at night, but then will warm up nicely around midweek as the jet stream hangs to our north leaving us on the warmer south side.

All that being said, unless you like clouds and showers, I think you'll like this week much more than last.

Enjoy!

Big warm-up coming

"Oh, yeah!"

"Here we go with a touch of summer!"

"I like what I'm seeing!"

A warm front is going to push through the state once we get rid of that upper level LOW that's been plaguing us the early part of this week. The showers and the clouds will finally pull out of eastern Ohio on Wednesday night setting us up for sunny days beginning Thursday and continuing into Sunday. 

The big news, however, is going to be the daytime highs. We'll see a modest warming on Thursday, then a big spike into the 70s for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday.  We should cool back into the 60s the first part of next week.

So, get out the summer attire and enjoy the upcoming weekend!

It's sort of like déjà vu

It's sort of like déjà vu! No, seriously! As we head into the start of this next week, it's going to seem very much like last week. Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday are going to be rather cool and damp. Then as we head into the weekend, the sun will come out and temperatures will warm up again.

The culprit this week will be a wet, slow-moving LOW pressure system that will move into the Ohio Valley the beginning of the week, then head north across western and central Ohio before camping out around Lake Erie for a short time. Finally, late Wednesday the system will move away. In the meantime, its going to be cloudy and rather damp.

So, once again, as we start off the week, we can only hold onto hope that things will be better come Friday.  And they will.  :-)

Enjoy!

Normal at last!

Ahhhh...finally I think we are going to have a fairly normal week. Our normal daytime highs should be in the mid 50s and I think we are going to be right around that all week long. A slow moving LOW pressure system will kick in a chance for some showers and slightly cooler temperatures around midweek, but that looks like the only problem for the next several days. After that snow last week, I think you're gonna like this week a bit more.

Enjoy!

Not so nice of a week ahead

Whereas this past week was fairly nice temperature-wise, that will not be the case as we start off  this coming week. A storm system heading up the Ohio Valley late Sunday will usher in some very cold air compared to what we have experienced recently. Temperatures Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday will "smack us in the face" as daytime highs will hang  out in the upper 30s and lower 40s. And, yes, we will likely see flurries and snow showers.  The good news is that this cold air outbreak will be short-lived. By Thursday we will begin to warm up again and as we head into Easter weekend temperatures will rebound into the 50s. Spring is like this you know...wild temperatures swings and weird weather patterns.
