July 21st on Average the Hottest Day of the Year....and today is no exception

One month past the official beginning of Summer, the worm starts to turn...so they say.  July 21st is on average, the hottest day of the year here in the northern hemisphere...in western Ohio, it appears today will indeed be our high mark for temperatures...with maybe, just maybe, a slight decrease in temperatures to follow.

Today, Thursday July 21, 2011:  Near Record Temperatures and a Heat Warning...High near 100 under mostly sunny skies....tonight partly cloudy and a low about 80.

Tomorrow as the Grand Lake Festival in Celina kicks off, the chance of rain will pick up....30% chance of storms, with a high of 95...rain chances increasing during the weekend to come. 

Photo-Grand Lake at the coolest point of the day, just before sunrise this morning...the temperature on the in-car thermometer read 78...
