NEOH

What a cool and wet summer. CLE temps were BN in June, July and August. After a dry start precip was 17.11" June-August which is 6"  above normal. 

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.

After a dry start to summer, it's certainly turned into a wet one.  A lot of flooding and a few roof collapses from last night's rain, especially west side.  Looks like another round later this evening.  The yard is nice and green and having issues drying out as of late.  

I've also got a few trees getting some fall color already.  

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. 

Got lucky with only 2.5" last night. Many flooded areas. We'll see what today brings but we've had more than enough rain.

I got missed today by 20 miles to my east  

Good luck and enjoy!!

Oof, that's close. Not looking forward to the heavy rain... just hoping for a few nice storms to close out the Summer. 

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. 

CLE finished July -1.1 with 6.75" of precip. I had 7.55" IMBY... Definitely a wet month. The grass looks spectacular for this time of the year.

Has the NWS shared the 2022-2023 snowfall map yet?

I believe it was sent... too depressing to look at so I deleted it. OHWeather would likely have it. 

Squall line looks on track for this evening. Haven't had one of these come across the lake in quite some time. 

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

Pretty smokey/chemically smelling out there tonight....

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.

South of I69 today could get some. I’m hoping for DTX area storms with wide spread coverage even if non severe. Ohio will get some love too I hope

Its smoky out there today. Wonder how much that limit instability. Looks like the radar is starting to light up NW of Detroit.

And you are going to get more.  Amazing what ~hundred miles does !!!

No doubt... very lucky to get the rain. It was extremely dry. Hopefully we can get a more spread the wealth type rainfall for the lower lakes region.

Definitely a more dry summer. I notice every time rain is forecast, the percentages become lower and lower the closer we get to the forecast day. I love it though. I want hot, sunny and dry.

I've had 3.78" of rain so far this week... much needed and definitely a drought buster.

Definitely a dry start to the summer.  We could definitely use the rain.... looks like maybe early next week.  

Smoky skies are ominous, even an air quality alert   Seems like since last weekend they have been like that. Don't remember a stretch like this before.  

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. 

Temp dropped to 30 last night. Very heavy frost... tough night for the plants.

Was wondering how that band performed when it sank into your area. It snowed hard for a couple hours in Chardon very early this morning, and while accumulations weren't much into Cuyahoga County the heavy snow/graupel in the band made 271 slick during the commute and caused accidents. Luckily the band was moving because if it would've sat in one spot for its duration it may have dropped several very dense inches...we would've needed at least an advisory if not more due to what would've happened to the trees. Pretty impressive setup for May. No accums anywhere between the office and my house (Brooklyn Hts/Reminderville) but we had a nice graupel shower yesterday afternoon and wet flakes did mix in this morning. We've seen snow in the month of May in recent years much more than what I remember up through about 2015. I believe in 2016 we had some May snow that stuck a bit in parts of the snowbelt and then again in 2020, 2021 and 2023. With that said, it's snowing less in the months it is supposed to snow in recent years, probably a trade none of us want to make. 

 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.

I am!  Hopeful that the weather works out, but we have a backup plan just in case.  

Congrats! Hopefully the weather is good.

After the 70s and 80s earlier this month the showery weather with snow flakes mixing in over the last couple of days has been unwelcome. But, nothing has stuck and I think I’m ready to call it a “winter” in Reminderville. My final tally is 33.7”, which is 40-45% of average. The driveway was plowed twice. Definitely feels even more underwhelming than my previous personal “low water mark” in NE Ohio of 2011-12. 

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.

After a slow start and just a dusting overnight,  right at 4" fell this morning as the band came south and hung out for a while. 

Same total here. Went from heavy snow in the morning to sunshine in the afternoon which melted most of the fluff. 

Looks like the Rt.6/322 corridor cashed in overnight. Just looped the radar and the band mostly stayed north of here all night.

Got about 3.6" today here.  Top snow event of the season!

Nice. About time your area cashed in. Picked up around 3" last night... will probably add a few more today.
