Who is thinking about swimming on the first day of summer?? Water will feel refreshing through the next several days. We will not feel many breaks from the sun today, so sunscreen is a must. A 1 out of 5 risk for strong storms exists on Wednesday as a cold front approaches, bringing temps back into the 80s on Thursday, but still hot and sunny. Expect temps back in the 90s again heading into the weekend.

WATCH POSSIBLE

Mesoscale Discussion 1187
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1200 PM CDT Thu Jun 16 2022

Areas affected...central and eastern Ohio ito portions of far
western/northwestern Pennsylvania

Concerning...Severe potential...Watch possible

Valid 161700Z - 161830Z

Probability of Watch Issuance...60 percent

SUMMARY...Isolated to widely scattered storm development may occur quickly early this afternoon ahead of advancing mid-level trough. Strong to severe storms may pose a risk for damaging wind gusts and hail through the afternoon. Storm coverage remains uncertain but A weather watch is being considered.

While some uncertainty with storm coverage exists farther west, the overall parameter space does suggest an increasing
severe threat from central OH eastward into far western PA early
this afternoon.

Tomorrow looks to be a weather aware day for Ohio. Derecho? Possibly. The SPC does not like using that work, but here is their discussion:

Although details in convective evolution remain unclear Monday afternoon, there is increasing concern that redevelopment of intense thunderstorms could occur with the MCV across parts of southern WI/northern IL into southern Lower MI, IN, and OH. Strong to extreme nstability (MLCAPE 3000-5500+ J/kg) will likely develop along/south of a warm front across these areas. Low to mid 70s surface dewpoints, strong diurnal heating, and steep mid-level lapse rates will all contribute to this large reservoir of buoyancy.

Both global and convection-allowing model guidance show large variability in possible solutions, which range from little to no surface-based convective redevelopment, to an intense, bowing MCS sweeping southeastward in a narrow corridor across parts of the Midwest into the OH Valley through Monday evening.
