I'll Have Another Shot of Summer....

After having the windows open the past couple of days and nights, letting the cool breeze and fresh air into the house, it will probably get closed up and the A/C turned back on for a few days, as Summer makes one(at least) last push to stick around.

Tonight Mostly Cloudy Low 60
Wednesday August 31st-Partly Cloud High 84

Summer returns for Thursday as September kicks off...High 93 with 92 scheduled to follow for Friday, lows near 70....

More Overnight Storms...

Another somewhat spectacular lightning show was present last night....last nights storms crossed the Indiana Border into western Ohio about 10:30 or so...with the most lightning being noted north in the Paulding and northern Van Wert County areas....but even that far away, it was lighting up the sky here.   I tried to get some photos, but with the new point and shoot camera, and no time release button, I wasn't very successful...but will work on my technique some more as time goes by.

With the Storms out of the way, it will be sunny, warm, and less humid for the next few days.....

Today, Thursday August 25, 2011--Sunny, less humid, high of 80
Tonight, Clear and Cooler low of 58

Not much exciting weather-wise...

The past week or so did see a drop in the humid conditions...which is just now starting to push back into the pattern.  We actually managed to turn off the A/C for a few days and open the windows.  In addition to the cooler, but not cool, weather, we have had a series of small, short lasting storms, which dumped enough rain to kick in the yard growth....Summer is indeed winding down...so far the bugs, especially mosquitoes, have been few and far between, at least here in town.


Thursday August 18, 2011

Sunny to Partly Cloudy, warm and seasonable, with a high of 85 and a 30% chance of storms 


Tonight:  Storms possible at 30% low of 60


Tomorrow Sunny and warm High once again 85

A typical Mid Summer Weather Pattern

Typical in the sense that it remains in the 90 degree range on most days, with a large amount of humidity....although over the past week, we have had spells of storm, while some have been near sever, most are just loud noise makes with welcome, but not too much, rain coming with them.   Last night a front that dumped heavy rains in the Chicago area, made it's way to Grand Lake and the Region...dropping some overnight moister.  The winds that followed, quickly dried much of that off.....

It appears that cooler, less humid conditions will greet us starting tomorrow, and stick around until a chance of showers shows up by the weekend:

Tuesday August 9th--Sunny, with a 30% chance of storms High 85
still a chance of showers tonight with a low of 64...then Wednesday it will be both less humid and cooler a high of 79...

enjoy it!

Summer Continues, without wavering...

Pretty much in a stagnant cycle in the Grand Lake Region...Hot Days, with Climbing Humidity...this will continue through the weekend, and it appears beyond.  After some need rain last weekend, it appears the next few days will have a chance of more, but it will not break the stranglehold of the recent Heat Wave....

95, 91, 91, and 91 are the highs for the next few days, through the Weekend, with lows at 70, 72, 72, 74...Chance of stroms at 50% by Friday Night(tomorrow as I type) with a 30% shot on Saturday.  The extended forecast looks much the same for next week.

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.

Record Heat on the Way?

The hot, humid, dangerous heat indices weather continues through the weekend...and tomorrow we may see triple digits in western Ohio...

Celina and the Grand Lake Region saw some spotty, but welcome, downpours early yesterday morning, then again before nightfall last night....that will give way to oppressive heat and humidity for the next few days, with tomorrow being the worst of the bunch:

Wednesday July 20th...Partly Cloudy, Hot, and Humid high of 97
tonight...humid conditions under partly cloudy skies low 78
Thursday July 21st...near record heat, with dangerous conditions to continue..High 100

Rain is possible with storms and high humidity through the coming weekend:
