  1. Weather Outlook

    The forecast from last winter into spring for summer 2016 in Ohio continues to work out with generally warmer and drier weather.  Over the region as the departure from normal map shows, it is drier than normal across much of Ohio and points northeast while it has been wet to the south and west of Ohio.

  2. A WARM JULY WITH HIGHLY VARIABLE RAINFALL!

    The outlook for July calls for above normal temperatures to persist. Maximum temperatures will generally be in the 80s and lowers 90s but a few day could top out as high as 95 especially in western and southern areas of the state. Overnight lows will range form the 50s to 70s but more days will be in the 65-75 degree range than higher or lower. More of the above normal temperatures in July will come from higher night-time lows versus daytime highs.

  3. Have and have nots across state when it comes to rain over the last week

  4. Warmer and Drier will be the trend for the rest of the growing season

    The overall trend, as we discussed earlier this year, was expected to be toward warmer and drier weather and this has been occurring.

    Spring is in the books and it went down as warmer temperatures and near normal rainfall for Ohio as seen in the attached graphics. The exception was north-central Ohio which was wetter than normal

    What is in store for the rest of June and July you ask?

    The trend is your friend. We expect warmer and drier to be the rule from late June through July.

    Let It Grow, Let It Grow

    Author(s): Ryan Fliehman
    The weather continues to be favorable for the majority of the state as mainly dry conditions prevail.  While heat continues early this week, cooler and moister conditions are expected in the coming days and beyond.  With the majority of planting completed, these conditions will be welcomed as the prime growing season comes into full swing.

    PLANT PLANT PLANT!!!

    The weather pattern has become favorable for planting. In the short-term planting is favorable but it could become less favorable in the next 1-2 week again so it is worth taking advantage of the window.

  10. Damp Conditions this Week

    After a wet week last week with anywhere from 0.50 to 2.00 inches in most places there weather will relax some this week. However with cooler temperatures evaporation will be down so even light rains will keep things on the damp side this week.
      April ended with temperatures ranging from 1-2F below normal in northern Ohio and 0-1F above normal in southern Ohio or near normal for the state average. This followed a very warm March with temperatures 5-10F above normal.
