Good morning everybody. Happy Sunday!

The good news is, is it seems as though we should have another wonderful day on tap for us. We still have that upper level Low that’s going to be in the Lower Lakes region today, so some early cloud cover should be expected. Just like yesterday, we will give an isolated shower chance, but overall that chance is low. We should see that chance move west to east across the area early this morning, and that chance should be out of the area by the mid to late morning. If we do see any rain, again, it’ll be brief and pretty light in nature. Otherwise today should be another repeat of yesterday! So more sun, and more passing afternoon clouds potential, overall, just a “normal” fall day.

More of the same can be expected as we head into the evening and over night hours. Skies should pretty much clear up for the over night hours as we have been seeing. Overall the set up will be great for sleeping and just great overall conditions over night.

Highs today will approach the upper 60s to low 70s across the area today. Lows tonight will dip back into the mid to upper 40s.

If you have a chance this morning, head on out to Norwalk and welcome the runners and walkers for the Maple City 5k! Give these guys the warm welcome they deserve and show them why Norwalk is such a great community! Best of luck to all of the runners out there, and best of luck to the organizers this morning!

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

Good morning everybody, and happy Saturday!

There is a Low pressure system that’s sliding into the Lower Lakes region this morning. That will continue to push towards the eastern part of Lake Erie today. This will influence our weather today through tomorrow, but based on positioning, we should, for the most part stay dry. Can’t rule out an isolated passing shower this afternoon, but most of us should remain dry. If we do see some rain, it will be light, and brief, as it passes through. Otherwise, today will be another wonderful day as we pretty much will have the same conditions as we have been seeing. It’ll be a cloudy start, but some gradual clear is expected, even with that chance of rain hanging around.

As we head into tonight, skies should continue to clear up and we should have a beautiful night. We will have to watch this Low pressure and see how much influence it’ll have on us for tonight, but that should be limited in our area. If we see anything, it should be some cloud cover and a potential isolated shower. Again, should we get some rain, it’ll be light and brief, but positioning of the Low pressure should help us out and keep us dry. We really need the rain though.

Highs today, will really depend on where you are. They should be in the mid 60s to low 70s today. The closer you are to the lake, the cooler you’ll be, and the further away from the lake, th warmer you’ll be. Lows tonight, assuming we do clear out as expected, we should see lows dip back into the mid 40s. Wonderful sleeping weather tonight.

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

10/10/2025

Good morning everybody, and happy finally Friday! We made it! We always do, but man that light at the end of the tunnel on Monday’s looks really small and so far away.

Anyways, once again, who’s enjoying this weather we’re having?! I know I am, that’s for sure! We’re off to a much cooler start as the High pressure is basically over head and is bringing that cooler air straight in from Canada. The good news is, the High pressure is moving away from the area and off to the east coast. We will still be heavily influenced today and tonight by this High pressure, but the position of the High will certainly give us a return flow for our winds in the upper levels today, which will make us slightly warmer today. Otherwise, we are, again, going to copy and paste our weather, again, from yesterday to today. We should have more sunshine than clouds today, but again, as the normal has been around here, those high level, puffy, white clouds could be with us in passing today.

As we head into this evening, we have a great night ahead of us for some Friday night lights! If we see some clouds today, those should clear out as we head into the late afternoon and evening. So if you’re headed out to those high school football games, take a jacket or a hoodie, because we will be headed for another cool night.

Temps today, again, will be slightly warmer than the last couple of days, but not by a whole lot. Even with return flow with the High pressure shifting, those temps will be in the upper 60s to low 70s today. I think most of us will barely get to 70, but we could over achieve a bit. Lows tonight will generally be into the upper 40s to low 50s tonight.

Before we close out today, I’d like to pass along some really, really special news, that hits both of us. Those of you who know us, know that Chris and I have been really good friends since grade school. We grew up together, we went to high school together, we even lived across the street from each other. Chris was apart of the 2009 State Championship team, for St. Paul. I still remember that season, as that was the fall right after I graduated high school. I went to every game that season and watched Chris and his class, and everybody on that team, have an extremely successful season. They ended 15-0 and won the first, and only, to this point, state championship, in school history. I am extremely honored, and proud to congratulate Chris, and the entire 2009 football team, on their induction into the St. Paul hall of fame tonight. At halftime of tonight’s, St. Paul game, they will officially be honored and welcomed into the Hall of Fame at our Alma mater. This is something that is really special for both of us, and this really makes me proud, not only as a friend, but as a brother to Chris as well. Of course, I will be attendance tonight but if you are there, be sure to give Chris and that team an extra round of applause. They certainly deserve it!

That’s all we have for you today. Have a great Friday! Enjoy this weather out there, and stay safe!

Hey hey everybody!

The National Weather Service in Cleveland has *EXTENDED* the FROST ADVISORY, to now include Erie, Ottawa and Lorain counties. This is an extension “area wise” so this now includes our entire area. Again, lows in the low to mid 30s are likely tonight and frost development is likely as well. If you’re right against the lake, you’ll be okay, but it won’t take many miles inland to get that frost potential. Please cover any plants that can die from the frost.

Have a great night and sleep well! See you in a few hours. Stay safe out there!

09/10/2025

Good morning everybody, happy Thursday! One day closer to the weekend!

Well, those of you, who like me, enjoyed the weather yesterday, will definitely enjoy the weather today. We are basically going to copy and paste yesterday to today. That’s thanks in large part to a High pressure system that’s working its way here, from Canada. That will slowly build in and have firm control over our weather until at least Saturday, and that will keep us pretty seasonable temperature wise through then. Otherwise, today, sunny skies with those passing puffy, white, clouds for the day today again. Should be a great, fall feeling day out there!

Temps today are, for the most part, starting off in the mid to upper 40s. There’s likely some cooler spots out there but those are probably pretty isolated. But highs today will range from the upper 50s to low 60s across the area today. Lows tonight will be even colder than they are currently, with lows expected to drop, as mentioned yesterday, into the upper 20s to low 30s. The further away you are from the lake, the cooler you’ll be.

That said, the National Weather Service in Cleveland has issued a *FROST ADVISORY* from **1am Friday, until 9am Friday**, for the following counties… Sandusky, Seneca, Huron, Lorain, Richland and Ashland counties. Again, lows tonight will approach 32° or colder in some places, over night tonight. Cover those plants today!

That’s all we have for you today. Another wonderful, fall like, day out there today. Have a great day, and stay safe out there! Enjoy!

08/10/2025

Good afternoon everybody!

What a beautiful day out there we have for us today! Good grief, the forecast couldn’t be better. Lake shore communities, since I’m in one right now for work and can see across the lake shore, you’re enjoying more sun than clouds, than the inland areas, but that’s okay. Inland, we’re still looking at passing clouds for the rest of the afternoon, and again, these should clear late this afternoon and evening. We may see some lake enhanced clouds over night due to the cooler temps aloft, over the warm lake and wind direction, but otherwise should be another wonderful night on tap. Forecast remains on track and valid, per this morning’s post.

Looking ahead, we mentioned a frost potential, and it’s looking very likely we will be okay tonight and into tomorrow morning. The real question arises about tomorrow night now, looking at the data from late morning and early afternoon models. Checking in with the NWS office, they have issued a Hazardous Weather Outlook, for Sandusky, Seneca, Huron, Richland and Ashland counties that covers the potential for frost. They are saying they are monitoring the potential for frost and potentially freeze headlines for tomorrow night, at this point, and will decide to issue late tonight or tomorrow at some point. Chances are that we see a massive cool down with clear skies and that Canadian airmass overhead tomorrow night. We may see lows as low as the upper 20s in some places.

That said, we should drop into the upper 30s to low 40s tonight but if you feel more comfortable covering your plants tonight, I certainly wouldn’t blame you, but the main focus will be tomorrow night.

Enjoy that weather out there today! It’s truly a great day. Be safe out there! We will be back with those frost/freeze headlines when they get issued, if they get issued.

Good morning everybody, happy Wednesday! My goodness half way through the week already. Where has the time gone?

Anyways, those of us waiting on some cooler, fall feelings weather, the time has come. The cold front has come and gone, and the winds have shifted! A Canadian airmass is settling in for the next few days, so we are set up for some, albeit dry, but some nice fall time weather. We have some clouds around right now, but as we progress through these early morning hours and get into the late morning and into the early afternoon, we should get to see some clearing skies. Some clouds will stick around in the wake of this cold front, so I wouldn’t be surprised to see some passing clouds from time to time today but, otherwise much brighter and drier conditions than yesterday. Much needed rainfall though, and we have over achieved on the rain totals in parts of the area, we will see what we can find later. But we still have some work to do in that department, but we will take what we got for sure.

As head into the late afternoon and into the evening, clouds should clear up, completely as we stabilize behind the cold front. We should see some mostly clear skies late this afternoon and into the evening, that should ultimately stick around for the overnight hours. This will really make for a very nice night. Time to open some windows and let the house air out!

Highs today, well, most of us will see the upper 50s to low 60s for the day. That fall like feel will be with us finally, as we mentioned above, so it should feel really good once the sun comes up and works to slowly get these clouds out of here to release the moisture at the surface. Lows tonight will take quite a tumble all the way down to the upper 30s to low 40s. The lake will play quite a roll in those temps, so it’ll really depend on where you are in the area.

Overall a fall like feel as we head into this late week. It’s not looking like it’ll stick around, but we will take it for now. Also, those of you with plants that can’t handle the frost, just know we are looking at our first potential for frost, likely tomorrow night in some of our southern areas. Again, the lake will protect most of us due to the wind direction, but Richland and Ashland counties, you would be the ones to see some frost potential tomorrow night. We will keep you informed if that frost potential really comes into play, but right now tomorrow night would be the best chance for it.

That’s all we have for you today. Please, enjoy the weather out there! Open up some windows and get that fresh air in! Have a great day everybody, and stay safe out there!

07/10/2025

Well, well, well. What do we have here?

A FLOOD ADVISORY is in effect until 9:30pm EDT for southern Lorain county. This is being caused by this rather slow moving line of showers.

While this is needed rain, and this shouldn’t be too big of an issue, it does need time to soak in. This is simply a consequence of heavy rain in a short amount of time. But, it is much needed.

That’s all we have for now. Stay safe out there!

07/10/2025

Good morning again everybody!

We’re seeing, and have been seeing a pretty large dry slot in between rounds of rain. That first one has pushed through the area way out in front of the cold front.

The cold front will continue to push towards Ohio as this late morning progresses through the rest of the day. This will increase our rain chances for the area as the day goes on. While this does not look very impressive on radar, the anticipation is it will continue to expand, and increase in coverage right along the cold front as it begins to interact with our warmer, more humid conditions. Temps right along and behind the cold front are hanging out in the mid to upper 50s and that’s what’s headed our way for tomorrow, though we should get into the low 60s with clearing skies. More on that tomorrow.

For now, hit or miss rain showers as this moves in, and then more solid rain, should move in this afternoon, with thunder chances as well.

We will be back if we need to be, otherwise, let’s do those rain dances! We really need more and everything and anything this will throw at us today. Stay dry and stay safe!

07/10/2025

Gooooooood morning everybody, happy Tuesday!

Current radar picture is attached below and the rain has developed as forecasted. This rain, though light right now, should increase in coverage as we have seen the dew points increase across the area. An increase in dew points is what we want to see for increased rain potential as we head into the day today. This will lead to better chances for higher rain totals, than what we gave last night before bed. We really need whatever we can get out of this, and then some, but we will take it.

At this point these showers will continue to move southwest to north east. Again, thunder could develop later today but no severe weather is expected today. Thunderstorms though, could produce some heavier rain today, and we could see a slight uptick in winds underneath any thunderstorm, but that’s about it. There will still be a spread in rainfall amounts across the area today, as it really looks like the western portions of the area will largely miss this early morning rain, but again, with the increase in dew points, should bring an increase in coverage as well, so we should all get into this rain eventually.

Temps today, will get just a bit warmer than where they are now. The cold front will pass through later this afternoon, so the cool down will wait until then, but we will see highs top off in the low 70s for most of us today. It will feel pretty humid but rain cooled at least. Lows tonight will dip back into the mid 50s today. Don’t look now but temps tomorrow and Thursday will be in the low 60s!

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

07/10/2025

Good evening everybody!

What a beautiful moonrise, and a beautiful moon out there. Gonna be a heck of a night! Full and super moon, the harvest moon will be bright in the sky over head tonight. If you can, take a peek out there! It’s big, and it’s bright, it will be completely full around midnight and at its brightest.

Looking to tomorrow’s rain, just a quick update here. Looks like some scattered rain showers will make it here by early morning. It could be raining when we come back around in a few hours for the daily update. This will just be the start of it, and these showers will be out ahead of the cold front that’s set to come through. We will likely see some thunderstorm activity as well somewhere in the area, mid to late morning, and that potential will stick around with us until the cold front makes it here which should be sometime early afternoon. Rain chances will continue through the day though, and we should all see some extremely beneficial rain. It won’t be a drought buster by any means, but we will take what we can get. Rainfall amounts will vary and depend on thunderstorm activity, but the vast majority of us should get up to .5”-1” of rain tomorrow, with locally higher amounts possible as well. More on this in the morning.

Our high temps for tomorrow will occur just at midnight. This will be due to that cold front coming through and the increase in clouds tonight. We will top off at about 70 just after midnight and slowly but surely drop in temp as the day goes on. This is a relatively strong cold front, and our temps for Wednesday and Thursday are looking to be in the upper 50s to low 60s both days for highs, with lows dropping back into the upper 30s in our most southern areas, and most outlying areas, to low 40s for everybody else. Looks like a really good taste of fall for a couple of days!

We will be back in a few hours for the daily update, but just wanted to get this out there. Have a great night and sleep well! Stay safe out there!

06/10/2025

Good morning everybody! Back to the daily grind, it’s Monday already… let’s give this week all we got, and show it who’s boss!

Today will feature much of the same as we have been seeing across the area. Sunny skies, warm, and dry. Overall, very much, a copy and paste scenario from yesterday. High puffy clouds may develop today, but otherwise extremely quiet.

As we head into tonight, this is where the good news comes into play. High pressure will be moving on outta here and off to the Atlantic. As this happens, we will see a pretty strong trough start to work into the area as we see a decently strong Low pressure ride this cold front and begin to move in. With that said, increasing clouds tonight and into tomorrow morning, and we start to get into rain chances late tonight as well, though we should see most of the rain come through the area when the cold front passes through. More on this later. But overall for tonight, clouds will be on the increase for the over night period. This will lead to a warmer period, but I think it’s an even trade off to build in those rain chances.

As far as the temps go today, we will continue to see much above normal temps across the area today. Highs should top out in the low to mid 80s, though a couple of upper 80s can’t be ruled out, out west again. Lows tonight will only drop into the upper 50s to low 60s as those clouds build in and hold those temps for us.

More on the rain chances later, only because, the models have yet to be consistent on amounts, so we will let the over night models come in, and get the afternoon ones in, and we will see why happens. At last check our area should receive anywhere from 0.25-0.75” with isolated higher amounts. Noting overly huge, but we will take what we can get!

Have a great day everybody! Stay safe out there!
