The cool weather last week in Northeast Ohio has been
replaced with much more seasonable temperatures this week. The deep trough that
has plagued the region for much of July has relaxed and allowed, if only
temporary, more seasonable air on to spread across the area. A large area of temperatures
in 90’s stretches across much of the southern tier of the country with 100 degree temperatures spreading
into Texas from the desert Southwest. The tropics have become active this week
with the second hurricane of the season having formed in the Atlantic and two hurricanes
approaching Hawaii.
Currently high pressure is controlling the weather across
the area. High temperatures today will be a few degrees on either side of 80. A
storm system is moving through the central part of the nation generating an
area of showers and thunderstorms.
Hurricane Iselle with 80 mph winds is moving towards the Hawaiian
island chain. Hurricane conditions are expected to over spread the big island
tonight and tropical storm conditions will spread across the rest of the
islands during the day Friday as the storm weakens. The last effects of the
storm will end early Saturday on Kauai. Have rains will be largest impact for
the islands though strong winds will be felt at higher elevations.
Following quickly behind Hurricane Iselle is Hurricane Julio
with 105 mph winds. Currently it looks like the system will track just to the
north of the Islands but close enough to bring them tropical storm conditions. Once again heavy rains will be the main
concern for the islands.
High temperatures will continue to rise into the lower 80’s
for the weekend. A system passing to the south will make its closest approach
on Saturday spreading high clouds and a possible shower and thunderstorm;
especially the further south you go in the State.
The next system to impact the area will not arrive until
Tuesday. At that time there will be an increase in chances for rain and high temperatures will fall back into the 70's after the cool front passes.
