Fall will finally arrive...again...next week

So far we have had one week of fall-like temperatures this season. Then "summer" returned. Now, it's going to be back to Fall by the middle of the week.

Our normal high temperatures should be in the mid 60s. This past week some our nighttime LOWS were in the mid 60s. Oye!

Anyhow, more seasonal air is due to arrive about Wednesday and it looks like it will hang on right into next weekend.

Dust off your sweaters and jackets. :-)

Is Fall returning? Maybe not.

This past weekend in a post, I mentioned that by next week we should return to normal Fall temperatures. Well, maybe not.

Looking over our new forecast models, it appears that the unusually mild weather will now hang around well into next week. That means that temperatures in the 70s and 80s will not be going anywhere fast. In fact, it is possible that some record high temperature records could be tied or broken across Northern Ohio in the next 10 days.

Is it really Fall?

This is crazy weather! Temperatures again this week are going to be on the warm side. In fact, by week's end it will feel like summer again. While our normal high should be around 70, we will likely hit the low to mid 80s this week. Where's Fall?

I think I found it and it's taking the slow train here. I'm looking into the long range temperature charts and at the moment a surge of colder air is due to arrive late in the weekend or early next week. If that happens, daytime highs will probably drop back into the 60s for next week.

We'll keep an eye it and keep you updated at the bottom of the hour all week long.

G'Day!

A change back to normal

After more than a week of a sunny and dry weather pattern (yawn!), systems are going to finally start moving again this week. After a warm summer-like start, temperatures will cool down to more normal levels by midweek.

Rainfall this month so far has been on the light side...only an inch and half here at the Weather Center.

Hey, I was excited to see that the National Weather Service is talking about a La Nina forming this winter. If it does form as expected, we can look forward to a cold and snowy winter here in NE Ohio. I figure, if it's gonna be winter it might as well be cold and snowy!

Meanwhile, until that happens, just enjoy the change that is scheduled for this week.

The "end" of Summer

Summer has come to an unofficial end with the passing of Labor Day. It was a rather strange Summer with rainfall in June and July quite scarce with August beating out both month's combined. Temperaturewise, August was certainly the hottest of the three.

As for the coming week, it doesn't like it's going to be very eventful. There's not a lot of moisture around so we will see lots of sun with some clouds from time to time, but no really stormy days until possibly the end of the week.

Enjoy!

This is better :-)

Whew! This is much better! I'm not a big fan of high humidity. I prefer low humidity, temperatures in the 70s, and a nice breeze. Oh, well. That's coming later, but at least Sunday was pleasant.

As for the coming week, we will have a couple of warm days. The temperatures will top out in the mid to upper 80s again on Tuesday and Wednesday and then drop back into the cooler 70s (yippee!) for Thursday and Friday. Except for a chance of some thunderstorms late Wednesday, doesn't look like much to talk about this week.

For those of you coming back to school...welcome back!

GADS! IT'S WET!

After a somewhat dry spell earlier in the summer, the month of August is turing out to be very wet. The normal rainfall for this month is 3.6". As of midday today (August 20) we've already had over 6" of rain.

The summer months (June-August) are already above normal with two weeks to go.

Temperatures will warm up the later half of this week as we shift back into summer mode. Meanwhile, stay dry and keep your head above water.
