First 80 Degree Day of the Year!!

Summer conditions have made an appearance across Northern Ohio today as temperatures soared into the middle 80’s.  Friday will be a near repeat as high temperatures will be near 80 but a threat of thunderstorms will increase from west to east late in the day. Warm conditions will last through the weekend even after a weak cool front moves through the area on Saturday.  Temperatures through early next week will continue to be above average with an occasional threat of thunderstorms.

Currently a low pressure system is pushing out into the central plans. The Ohio Valley region is firmly in the warm sector with a warm front pushing north of the region. Severe thunderstorms with possible tornadoes will affect areas from Minnesota south into Texas.

On Saturday a weak cool front will be moving through the area with a chance of thunderstorms especially early in the day.  High temperatures during the weekend will remain in the 70’s.

On Monday another system will begin to move out into the Central Plains. This will produce another round of possible severe thunderstorms in the middle part of the nation. High temperatures will rise to near 80 degrees over many parts of Northern Ohio as warm air remains in place.
