Back to Fall

The "on-again-of-again" summer pattern will continue this week. After a very summer-like week last week, this upcoming week is going to be fall-ish.

LOW pressure will move to our north and then settle down near Toronto for a few days. (See graphic) The result will be another cloudy, damp, cool pattern. The LOW will produce lots of clouds over NE Ohio along with occasional showers. It's not going to be days upon days of rain, although rain will be in the forecast most days. Instead you will just see periods of showers from time to time.

As for temperatures, they will be cool. Our normal daytime highs should be in the lower 80s. Ain't gonna happen this week. In fact, midweek daytime highs will be hard pressed to reach 70. Yeah, so daytime highs in the upper 60s are possible Tuesday and Wednesday. If you don't like long, hot summers, you gotta be lovin' this one. LOL

Enjoy!

This is better

After 3" of rain in three days last week (Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday), we are finally going to dry out a bit this week. HIGH pressure will hold over the Lower Great Lakes and that will bless us with sunshine and near normal temperatures.

As we head into the later part of the week, we will see a change again, as the jet stream dips a bit to the south once more (see graphic). This will trigger a few a showers and thunderstorms around Thursday, but it doesn't look like it will be nearly as wet as last week.

Enjoy the first week of summer!

A cool week

Looks like a cool week is on tap for the region. Temperatures this week will be in the low to mid 70s most days. Weatherwise, lots of clouds will about through midweek. A combination warm front/cold front will be hanging around the lower Great Lakes through Wednesday, but the good news is that there is not a lot of moisture around. So rather than heavy downpours, we'll just see occasional showers. All in all, it won't be a bad week...just cool and somewhat cloudy.
