  1. The outlook for October does include some rain chances finally as expect between Oct. 4-10.

    September ended warmer and drier across Ohio for the most part. But it was the tail of two months. The first half of September was 5-10 degrees below normal and the second half of the month was 10-15 degrees above normal.

  2. Harvest Weather Outlook

    After a first half of September which was 5-10 degrees below average, the second half of September will average 5-10 degrees above average making September in the end a near average month but marked by significant differences in the month. Temperatures the week of September 19-25 will run 10-15 degrees above average with no risk of frost.

  3. Weather Outlook: Tropical Systems Influence

    The tropics are a big player in the weather this time of the year. The outflow from tropical systems creates high and low pressures further north in our region this time of the year and modifies weather patterns. Saying all that, this is an active year for the United States which we have not seen for about a decade. This all translates to uncertainty in our September weather and climate pattern for Ohio and surrounding areas.

    All eyes are on Hurricane Irma and the direct or indirect impacts to the United States and surrounding areas.

    Future Weather Predictions

    During August the weather and climate pattern switched where areas of the western half of the corn and soybean belt that needed rain got it while the eastern half dried out. Rainfall the last 30-days has been 2-6 inches with isolated totals to 10 inches in the western half of the region to 0.50 to 2.00 inch eastern areas including Ohio.

    Weather Update

    The headline the next 10 days for the middle third of August will be below normal temperatures, about 2-4 degree below normal. Rainfall is now in a more normal mode through much of August with more variability to the pattern. If anything like we talked about in July, the tendency will be on the slightly drier side of normal but nothing real extreme the next few weeks. In fact some of the lower rain totals the next 16 days will be in our region of the corn and soybean belt.

  6. Recent Rainfall: A Historical Perspective

    Author(s): Aaron Wilson

    To say that many parts of the state have experienced a wet stretch of weather would be an understatement. Heavy rainfall has left a wide variety of negative crop conditions, from yellowing in soybean fields where ponding has been persistent to highly variable heights on corn stands, delayed wheat harvest and hay cutting. With all of this rain, streams and rivers have been running much above normal as well. But how historic is our recent rainfall?

  7. Weather Update

      The wet period continued into July. Rainfall in Ohio the last 30-days has ranged from about 4-13 inches. This is 100-350% of normal. This will go down as one of the wetter periods on record in Ohio.

  8. Weather Forecast

    The active weather pattern will continue. The week of July 11th will bring a very warm and humid week with rounds of showers and thunderstorms. Some storms may be severe at times with high winds and heavy rains. Maximum temperatures will be in the 80s to lower 90s this week with overnight lows in the 60s to lower 70s. Temperatures will average about 5 degrees above normal for the week.

  9. Hot weather this week

    Last week’s forecast remains on track. After a cool week last week we expect a much warmer than normal week this week. Temperatures will run some 5-7 degrees above normal. After the recent dry period, it does look like rain chances will be increasing this week. Due to summer convection, rainfall will be quite variable, but most everyone should get something. Rainfall will likely range from 0.25 to 1.50 inches. Most will average 0.50 to 1.00 inches though.

  10. Weather Outlook

    A pattern change appears underway. We are heading into a summer type pattern that continues to evolve as we speak. This will mean a transition to warmer weather with rainfall becoming much more scattered and sporadic. Some areas will still receive locally heavy rainfall but other places will get missed.

    Cooler than normal weather can be expected this week through Saturday June 10 with temperatures averaging 4 to 5 degrees below normal. Rainfall will be below normal with amounts generally range from little or nothing up to 0.25 to 0.50 inches. Normal is near 1 inch.
