Crazy storm last night. Looks like the line weakened as it pushed south across the lakeshore but the winds were strong with intense lightning. Most of Chagrin Falls is without power... wonder if there was a spin up given the extensive amount of tree damage. Only lost power for a short time at home.
Definitely not common for the ground to be so wet this time of the year. Looks like a strong line will push through overnight. I noticed a few maples changing as well... mostly red colors.
Nice ring of fire set-up the next couple of days... couple be some large precip totals from CLE on east. Glad to be on the far eastern edge of the heat dome.
Nice view of the fires taking off southeast of hudson bay - https://weather.cod.edu/satrad/?parms=subregional-ca_n_quebec-02-24-0-100-1&checked=map&colorbar=undefined
Its terrible out there today. Thickest smoke we've had so far. It must be doing something to the flies... have had very few flies or mosquitos so far this summer.
At least things are green and lush again after the recent rains.
I think the record stretch is 25 days of no precip.. We'll run it close but it looks like a good chance for rain on Monday. If anything the smoke has made for some amazing sunsets.
Low of 44 last night, and smoky skies again this morning. Definitely chilly for June. Its probably due to the lack of rain but there are no flies or mosquito's yet which is strange.
We've had an incredible start to Summer... weeks of dry and sunny weather. We really need the rain though... can't recall a time that yards were starting to brown out in early June. Late May/early June is usually the peak time for lawns. Smoke is super heavy today -- looks like a dense overcast out there.
Most of the accumulation happened between 4-6 am. Definitely an impressive set-up for May - where was this all winter?! We had around an inch but enough to make the trees with flowers and leaves to sag significantly.
Woke up to snow cover this morning. Plows were out removing slush from the roads. If any more had accumulated there would have been tree damage. Temp is now up to 35 so everything is melting. Very little accumulation in areas below 1,000 ft.
The past few days have been awful. We got spoiled by the earlier warmth. At least everything is green again... foliage is definitely ahead of schedule. It was 28 IMBY this morning so anything that was flowering took a hit.
This past Winter was the low water mark out this way. Can't remember a worse winter for snowfall.
