The record high temperature was smashed today at Cleveland
as the air temperature soared to 88 degrees (as of 4pm). This easily eclipses
the old record for day of 86 degrees and is the hottest day so far this
calendar year. The heat today comes after strong and severe thunderstorms moved
through the area late Monday evening with heavy flooding rains, large hail,
and reports of funnel clouds. At this time no tornadoes were confirm across the
area. This is the same system that produced numerous tornadoes across the
mid-section of the county on Saturday and Sunday. Today will make the last day
in our recent summer preview as a cold front will move through and stall nearby
tomorrow. The next several days will feature a threat for rain, possibly heavy
and temperatures falling to below normal levels by Thursday.
Currently the Upper Ohio Valley is in warm sector of a approaching storm system. Temperatures are very warm with middle and upper 80's common. The cool front will move east with scattered thunderstorms preceding it.
Wednesday the front will stall near the Ohio and Pennsylvania border. Scattered rain early in the day will end as a storm system forms in the lower Mississippi Valley. High temperatures will be around 70 degrees.
On Thursday the storm system will move into the Ohio and track near the central lake shore. Heavy rain and severe thunderstorms will be possible until the system moves through. The upper low will not move much from the Great Lakes through the weekend setting the stage for an unsettled and cool weekend.
