Summer Warmth Returns


Summer heat has returned to the local area today as a large upper level high pressure located over the Central USA has expanded east. The cool temperatures from the middle of the week moved out beginning Thursday and by Friday temperatures were already above normal. The ridge of high pressure will flatten out as the week progresses and this will allow temperatures to fall closer to seasonal normals.

























Today is a hot day across Northeast Ohio. Temperatures have risen into the lower nineties (90's) and humidity has risen but is not at a muggy level. A cool front to the northwest will move through over night and will bring a chance of showers and thunderstorms which may be severe.


On Sunday the cool front will have slipped south of the local area and a much cooler air mass will be in place. Overnight showers and thunderstorms will clear out early leaving clear skies and high temperatures in the lower to middle seventies (70's). Dry conditions should be maintained on Monday as high temperatures approach eighty (80). Across the High Plains severe thunderstorms will be possible.


On Tuesday a warm front will approach from the south as a storm system takes shape to our west. Showers and thunderstorms will be scattered during the day as high temperatures remain around eighty (80). Severe thunderstorms will be possible across Kansas and Missouri. On Wednesday and Thursday local conditions will be similar to Tuesday but temperatures may be a few degrees warmer dependent on cloud cover.



On Friday a storm system will continue sinking to our south. By this time its associated moisture should be south of the area and dry conditions will hopefully prevail. High temperatures will remain around eighty (80).
