    October RISK:

    Temperatures - Above Normal (+3 to +5F)

  3. Pattern change is coming!

     

    Temperature RISK:

    Temperatures will continue to be several degrees above normal into much of November. However, the real change comes with a wetter pattern as has been discussed for several weeks now. The drier pattern of the last few months is about to end for a while.

    Storm RISK:

    The first storm Oct. 27/28 will bring widespread 1 inch rain to Ohio with isolated totals of 2 inches. The next storm will arrive about Nov. 1 with another near 1 inch event possible. Another storm will arrive later in the first week or November.

  7. Weather Outlook

    The outlook for August calls for slightly warmer than normal temperatures and normal and slightly drier than normal. Normal rainfall is about 0.75 inches per week in August.

    As we go into the end of the growing season in September temperatures will likely remain normal or slightly warmer than normal with rainfall normal.

    However, as we get into harvest season indications are it will turn wetter than normal for October and November . This will challenge harvest season again! This will add to an already tough year on Ohio crops.

  8. Weather Update

    The pattern change we talked about last week is on schedule. The wet pattern is relaxing!

    The outlook for the rest of July into August calls for near normal temperatures and rainfall with a slight trending toward warmer and drier conditions but only slightly, not a clear bias.

  9. Weather Update

    The first half of July started cool and wet as expected. The question is will the second half turn warmer and drier as we expected a few weeks ago. The overall answer is yes. Overall, weather, climate and hydrology conditions will improve in Ohio after the start of this week into the end of July.

  10. June Sets Rainfall Records for Many Parts of Ohio

    June will go down as forecast with it being a wetter and warmer than normal month. Most of the warmth came from moisture and clouds holding overnight lows being held up where daytime temperatures were close to normal.

    The outlook for July is for continued wetness for the first half of the month followed by drying in the second half. Temperatures will start cooler than normal but will turn back warmer than normal in the second half of July.

    Rain chances will continue daily or every other day into the first week of July.
