Heat Returns

After the hot high temperatures on Sunday the local area has enjoyed a nice break from the heat during the work week.  High temperatures during the week were either in the upper seventies (70's) or lower eighties (80's). A complex of thunderstorms affected the area overnight Wednesday after spawning nearly a dozen tornadoes over Illinois.  Temperatures are headed back up this weekend before another cool front moves through during the early part of the work week.

 Today was a gorgeous day across Northern Ohio. Skies were clear, humidity low and temperatures rose to near eighty (80) degrees. Overnight conditions will be clear and starry with low temperatures around sixty (60).

Saturday will be another warm and delightful day across the area. High pressure will continue to be in control leading to high temperatures in the middle to upper eighties (80's). A storm system will move into the upper Plains leading to thunderstorms, possibly severe. Heat will intensify across the Southern States with high temperatures in the upper nineties (90's) to around one hundred (100). High temperatures Sunday will be hotter across Northern Ohio as they should reach the lower nineties (90's) with thunderstorms possible overnight.

On Monday a dying cool front will push through early in the day. This will allow high temperatures to remain well into the eighties (80's). A stronger cool front will move through Monday night possibly with showers and thunderstorms. High temperatures will be in the seventies (70's) on Tuesday and Wednesday with dry conditions.

On Thursday high pressure will move east of the region. This should set up a warm return flow and high temperatures will rise to around eighty (80) degrees.

Beautiful Weekend on Tap

Another beautiful and warm week was enjoyed across the region this week. Temperatures were generally above normal for the past week and Thursday's thunderstorms brought much needed rainfall for many. A cool front has moved through the area bringing lower humidity to the area.  Above normal temperatures will move back into the area over the weekend before much cooler air returns next week.  

The cool front that moved through the area yesterday has moved to the south and east today. An air mass with lower humidity has settled over the area. Local temperatures have not cooled behind the front as clear skies have allowed the strong June sun to produce high temperatures in the lower and middle eighties (80's). Severe thunderstorms accompanied the front as it moved through the Southeast.

The local area will experience a dry and very warm weekend with high temperatures in the middle to upper 80's on Saturday and Sunday.  A heat wave will begin in earnest over the Southwest as high pressure becomes establish over the Four Corners region. By Sunday the Desert Southwest will see temperatures approach one hundred and fifteen (115). Also severe thunderstorms will be possible across the Northern Plains as a strong cool front moves into the region.

On Monday the strong cool front will be moving into the Great Lakes region.  Showers and thunderstorms, some severe, will accompany its passage. High temperatures should reach the lower nineties (90's) before the front moves through the local area. The heat wave will peak across the Southwest with temperatures approaching the one hundred twenty (120) degree mark.  On Tuesday much cooler air will arrive to the local area with high temperatures remaining in the seventies (70's). 

On Wednesday and Thursday cool high pressure will be in firm control of the local area's weather.  Conditions will remain dry and cool with high temperatures in the lower and middle seventies (70's)

By next Friday high pressure will move to the east allowing warm air to return to the area. A storm system will be organizing over the Plains with showers and thunderstorms.
