Alrighty everybody, good morning again!

Looks like the thought process with not everybody getting rain, was incorrect. That’s alright. We need the rain in most places, so I’ll take it being incorrect in the positive way.

This won’t last all day, this should stick around until about noon or so, and then really we should be okay. Varying rainfall intensity is extremely likely as we go through the morning and head towards noon. Again, we could use it, better to get it now then be dry now and play catch up the rest of the summer.

Have a great day out there, and take the rain gear!

Good morning everybody, back to Monday, and back to the daily grind.

Current radar pic below from the NWS in Wilmington. This is wave number 1 that’s part of a really large, Low pressure system, centered in the upper Midwest. These showers and imbedded thunderstorms are headed in this general direction and should get here soon. I don’t think, again, that we all see rain, but rain chances exist for the entire area. These storms are not severe, but should we see any storms, they may have some gusty winds and some heavy rain. Again, I don’t think everybody gets into this, but we will keep an eye on it and update if needed.

As for the rest of the day, there is another piece of energy headed this way, coming from that larger Low pressure system in the upper Midwest. This should be here later this afternoon, and also bring with it showers and storms. We are just outside of the MARGINAL RISK area for severe weather, that really should stay to our east. That said, we could see a strong storm or two in the area, as they redevelop and get going, but overall, we should stay below severe limits. Again, I don’t think we all see rain out of round 2 even, but the area wide chances seem a bit higher. This risk should carry us through the evening before leaving the area to our east.

Temps today probably won’t get too much warmer than they are now, but they should top out in the low 70s. Lows tonight should drop back into the mid to upper 50s.

That’s all we have for you, so far, we will be back if needed today. Until then, have a great day and stay safe out there!

Good evening everybody!

The forecast remains on track for the rest of the day, and into the over night. May have some rain develop after midnight and into tomorrow morning, as well as tomorrow afternoon and evening, but more on this tomorrow morning.

Out of reason of transparency, I want to pass this along already. We will will mention this again, as a reminder, but I just want to get this out there ahead of time.

On Friday, my wife, little one, and I are leaving for vacation! This is our first vacation as a family of 3 and for my wife and I, first out of state vacation in 10 years. Very, very much needed and we are very much looking forward to it. This will not, in anyway slow down our normal coverage, but it may delay the daily updates. I may even throw in daily updates for the location in which we are going, which is Florida!

Chris will still be around and be local, and we will still provide the daily updates. Just because one of us is out of state doesn’t mean we won’t be around. We can still access everything we need to from the road.

At any rate, please have a good night and we will see you in the morning!

Good morning everybody, and welcome to Sunday.

This is the current radar picture. This is the chance for rain/thunder that had the potential to be with us over night last night. This area of rain has come across the Midwest and is finally here. It is moving rather slowly, hence the reason why it’s taking so long to get to the area. Some places in Sandusky and Seneca counties, may already be seeing the rain, but in other places it may not be reaching the ground just yet. It will, just give it a little time. Most of this should be light to moderate rain, but definitely cannot rule out isolated thunder in there in some places too. Varying rainfall intensities will be with us throughout as well.

This will swing on through this morning and bring with it a warm front. We will have to see how far the warm front does make it, because the front and its associated shortwave energy are forecasted to fade as it swings through our area. This will bring with it the potential for warming temps as the day moves on, but it will also bring with it the area of rain scattering out. While we all should see some rain today, it should eventually taper off late this morning and into the afternoon. When that happens, I would suspect that the clouds will stick around, but we could get a bit of sunshine as well. Just going to depend on how quick everything fades out. Overall, rainy this morning, and we should see partly to mostly cloudy skies for the remainder of the afternoon.

Temps today, off to a comfortable start. Let the dogs out and it was actually a little chilly. We should rebound into the upper 60s to low 70s today, again, highly dependent on where that front fades out, but it should clear the area. Temps tonight should be similar to last night’s, with lows down to the upper 50s.

That’s all we have for you today. Stay dry and stay safe out there today! Have a great day!

07/06/2025

Gooooooooood morning everybody, happy Saturday!

We have a small disturbance that’s riding along the stationary front. The good news is, that stationary front is well south of our local area, and it really should not affect us. If anybody gets anything, it’ll be brief, and it’ll be in the southern most areas of Richland and Ashland counties, otherwise, the rest of us, should be dry.

Good news, is that High pressure is on the way today. Again, as mentioned yesterday, this will be brief, but it should allow for us to have a pretty sunny day, for the first half of it. Clouds will begin to build in this afternoon, ahead of our next weather maker, which will come in later tonight. But overall, today should be dry.

Rain chances increase tonight, as we make our way through the overnight. This should be an area wide event, with varying rainfall rates. We could get some thunder mixed in there as well, but thats really about it. We’re looking at the potential for up to 1” of rain in most of our area, but most totals should fall in between 0.5 and 0.75”.

Temps today should reach into the mid to upper 70s for most of us. Lows tonight will dip into the upper 50s.

We may see some fog, and smoke mix this morning, in some places, otherwise known as smog. This will move on, as we move through the day. Good news, is, as I let the dogs out this morning, there’s none around my house. Bad news, that may not be the case everywhere, but most places should be starting to clear here soon.

That’s all we have for you today. Have a great day and stay safe out there!

Good morning everybody, happy Friday!

Attached is the radar picture over the area. Satellite returns shows a rather good portion of the area with cloud cover, and that would be in wake of this rain that’s surrounding the area. We could also have some patchy fog out there as well, due to all the moisture that’s been around, with yesterday’s rain, and the clouds being around locking in that moisture.

Chances for rain today, do exist and will continue for most of the day. I don’t think everybody sees the rain, but we are still being affected by the stalled out front that’s draped across the area. There is a weak disturbance that’s expected to develop and come this way, that should also get the front to start moving. This, along with High pressure that’s off to our northwest, will eventually get this front to move on. It will be short lived, but at least for tonight and into tomorrow, it should dry us out. Again, we may not all see the rain, but we do have rain chances today for the area. Scattered rain, and thunder, today, and if any storms do develop, we do run into the risk of damaging winds, but that should mostly stay towards Richland and Ashland counties.

Temps today should still get into the upper 60s to low 70s across the area. Lows tonight, as that front moves through, could drop into the upper 50s for most of the area.

That’s all we have for you today. We will update if needed though. Have a great day everybody, stay safe out there!

Good morning everybody, happy Thursday. Up early, can’t sleep, but what else is new?

Off to our west, we have that cold front that we mentioned yesterday that would be on approach to the area. This cold front was supposed to be moved through already and stall out across part of the area, but that does appear to not be the case anymore. This front has slowed way down, and therefore, has slowed the precipitation down as well. Rain, and imbedded thunder will still slowly push into the area, but given the time of day right now, and the fact that we are under a relatively stabilized atmosphere, this should begin to scatter out as the morning progresses. I think a good portion of the area still has chances for rain, and/or thunder, as well as some decent rain at times, but we will have to see how this holds together, if it even does.

Outside of this, the cold front will swing through, at some point today. This should, as mentioned, bring this rain, or some of it, with it, as well as some cloudy weather. That will be the story of the day for sure, as we head through the day.

Temps today will be cooler than the last couple of days, but we should still get into the upper 60s to low 70s today. Lows tonight should drop into the upper 50s to low 60s as that cold front should be pushed through.

We will keep an eye on that radar for you, and update as needed, so stay tuned. Other than that, thats all we have for you today. Have a great day, stay safe and stay dry out there!

Good morning everybody, happy Wednesday! Half way through the week!

A really warm start out there this morning as most of us across the area should be in the upper 60s at least, and there may be a 70 or two out there already. This comes as no surprise as we saw that High pressure moving to our east, and being on the correct side of it, the wind flow from the south, and southeast, really brought the warmth. The High pressure will continue to control our weather for most of the day today, until our rain chances increase for the evening and over night period.

There’s a cold front that’s pushing through the Midwest right now, and bringing with it those rain/storm chances. We do remain under the *MARGINAL RISK* for severe weather today. Damaging winds will be our main threat today, the others, hail and tornadoes, remain pretty much non existent. Heavy rain, along with training storms over night and through Thursday will be a thing as well. This front is expected to stall out over the area, and that will help determine where a lot of that rain will continue to fall. I really think most of us get pretty decent rain chances out of this, so we will need to keep an eye on that training aspect of the forecast, for possible flooding. These rain chances will continue into and through Thursday. So we will have to see where the front stalls and how active it becomes.

Highs today should get into the mid to upper 80s, as again, most of us stay dry today. Lows tonight, will be in the mid to upper 60s again.

That’s all we have for you today. Have a great day out there and stay safe!

Good afternoon!

Clear skies up above today, even though the sun is filtered, with what appears to be thin clouds. But again, as we mentioned, it is wildfire smoke. It looks the same on satellite, but it’s very different. It’s very thin, and it looks very flat over the area, and we can still see the ground. That said, that’s not always the case, but this time around it is.

Good news, improvement is coming. Later today we should get this all out of here. Skies should clear tonight, ahead of a brief active period, at the end of the week. This smoke today should mostly stay aloft in the air at this point, and not reach to the ground. One part of the forecast I’m happy to say was wrong from last night. It really did look like it was going to work its way to the surface.

Looking ahead to tomorrow, we have most of the area under a *MARGINAL RISK* for severe weather. This is not expected to be a widespread event, or a bad one. We should see showers and storms develop tomorrow afternoon, and be with us into the over night. This set up really isn’t conducive for severe weather, but we do have a chance for damaging winds in any stronger storms that do develop. Outside of that, heavy rain is possible as well, as we get into a bunch of Gulf moisture. So we could see heavy rain in there, especially with thunderstorms. We will monitor the situation, but shouldn’t be any cause for concern. Tornadoes and hail potential is pretty non existent for tomorrow.

That’s what we have for you today! Continue to enjoy this weather. It’s truly really nice out! Stay safe out there!

03/06/2025

Good morning everybody, and happy Tuesday!

Basically, the good news is, if you enjoyed yesterday’s weather, today’s will be more of the same. That’s the good news. We are on the flip side of the a High pressure that continues to dominate our weather, so we should see a mostly sunny sky today, and a surge in temps, finally. We will get to the temps in a moment. But that’s what we are up against today, not much going on around here, which is always a good thing.

Latest guidance on the smoke this morning, comes with a little bit of good news as well. While the smoke concentration will be higher, the guidance is backing off a bit on how much we will see work to the surface. However, overall, with a higher concentration in the area, even in the upper levels, hazy conditions will be with us today, and I would still be cautious if you are part of the sensitive breathing folks out there. We will see how this goes and update if needed, but again, do know the concentration will be higher, which will make the skies hazy and filter the sun a bit, but it may not be heavy enough to get to the surface and really affect visibility.

Highs today should surge into the low to mid 80s today. Depending on the exact amount of smoke we see, some upper 80s can’t be ruled out. Lows tonight will only drop to the mid to upper 60s. We wanted that warmer summer like air, right?! Here it is!

Again, we will wait and see about this smoke now, but in our opinion that’s some good news this morning.

That’s all we have for you today, though. Have a great day, stay safe out there! We will be back if necessary.

03/06/2025

Good evening everybody!

Sorry so late, I’m sure there will be some of you night owls out there that will see this, but a good majority of you will likely see this in the morning. This will also be part of tomorrow’s update, so it’ll shake out.

We will have continued hazy conditions due to the wildfire smoke in the area tonight and through tomorrow. Good news, is this will stay aloft and above the surface in the upper levels of the atmosphere tonight. This will gradually come down to the surface tomorrow, and be at ground levels, tomorrow afternoon through the evening, and over night. This may prompt an air quality alert for some of the area. This, paired with a rather big surge of warm air, will cause breathing issues for the sensitive groups tomorrow. Remember, we did mention a higher concentration of smoke for the Tuesday-Tuesday night time frame… we will likely see highs in the mid to upper 80s, finally some late spring-early summer temps, and pair that up with thick smoke, it will not be good for sensitive breathing folks out there.

Again, this will hit tomorrow morning, so if you’re reading this Tuesday morning, it’ll be repeated.

Have a great night everybody!! Stay safe out there!
