Hit 94, just one degree shy of the record. Certainly the final 90-degree day for the season. What a way to end summer!

Looks like a crappy Labor Day weekend coming up. After that, models are hinting a cutoff low for the majority of next week.

Scott Sabol in Cleveland tweeted this back on Thursday:

000 SXUS71 KILN 150607 RERCMH RECORD EVENT REPORT NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON OH 0205 AM EDT MON AUG 15 2022 ...LOW MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE TIED AT COLUMBUS OH... THE HIGH TEMPERATURE OF 70 DEGREES AT COLUMBUS, OHIO, YESTERDAY AUGUST 14, 2022, TIED THE RECORD LOW MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE PREVIOUSLY SET IN 2013. $$ Columbus tied a record low maximum temperature.

Going to be a suckfest today with today's system. We'll be lucky if we even reach the lower 70s for today's high.

Summer is over

Not only did debris clouds screw us out of heat today, but got just a trace of rain today.

Not our year. We only hit 90 once this past Wednesday since July 5th. Only one heat wave this year, and that occurred last month. This weekend was supposed to be a heatwave, but failed to hit 90 each day including today thanks to getting screwed by debris clouds the past couple days. What a joke. Unless things get better again next month, I'm ready for Fall.

6-10 day: 8-14 day:

Don't know what they're smoking, but NWS dropped forecast highs for today down to the mid to upper 80s while issuing a Heat Advisory for today.

000 SXUS71 KILN 180557 RERDAY RECORD EVENT REPORT NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WILMINGTON OH 157 AM EDT MON JUL 18 2022 ...RECORD DAILY MAXIMUM RAINFALL SET AT DAYTON OH... A RECORD RAINFALL OF 2.64 WAS SET AT DAYTON OH YESTERDAY. THIS BREAKS THE OLD RECORD OF 1.48 SET IN 1948. $$ Already just entered the 2nd half of July, and the rainfall total for this month is now 5.58". A bit early for an all-day washout. Columbus is already almost on its way to the top 10 wettest Julys.

If only this was Winter..... Already have 2.79" so far this month, though the majority of that was only during the 1st week of July. Are we just pushing for a record wet July at this rate? Looks it'll be our turn later this weekend to experience what you're having today. Euro and GFS are apparently hinting the system to be Fall-like on Sunday with highs ranging from the upper 60s to the lower 70s. TWC has us down for a high of 75 on Sunday, JUST ONE degree above the record low maximum temperature set in 1925.

Only reached 75, completely overcast, 0.23" of rain. The dry periods today just seem to be boring and a waste for early July. A suckfest today.

Certainly in for a Fall-like storm tomorrow. Could be the coolest day for this month. 00z GFS: 00z Euro: 00z NAM:

If only this was Winter.....

Heat wave cancel. Heat Advisory that was supposed to be in effect in the next hour has already been dropped.

Even though DAY only got 0.15" of rain today, NWS confirmed a tornado sighting per their hourly observations.

Now we wait for Lucy and the football.

89'd after being stuck at 88 for several hours this afternoon. Highest we'll see for at least the next few weeks.

VEI-6 eruptions usually lead to noticeable short-term effects on the global climate. If this is the case, we can expect to see these effects during this Summer, just like in 1992. JB already talking about a cooler-than-normal summer for much of the US. Wonder if this could be when we start to see the effects of the Tonga eruption that occurred in January.

TWC just posted a video about this yesterday. The Tonga eruption reached well into the ionosphere a.k.a. space. https://weather.com/news/video/tonga-volcanic-eruption-biggest-explosion-ever-recorded-and-reached-space
