WEDNESDAY (6/15) MORNING WEATHER BRIEFING
GOOD MORNING.....
We've enjoyed a fantastic stretch of weather but now a couple of different days are about to unfold.It's still not all that humid yet with dewpoints mainly in the 50s but a warm front is heading our way and it will deliver the soupy air, especially tonight and tomorrow.
Along the leading edge of that tropical air mass, we have thunderstorms this morning in western Ohio.
These storms will weaken as they encounter the drier air over northeast and northeast Ohio. Still, we may get a residual shower this afternoon. Our hi-res model shows an increasing threat for thunderstorms as we head toward evening.
A "Slight Risk" of severe weather exists today in the western 1/2 of the Buckeye State. Storms could produce hail and damaging winds this afternoon. I am not concerned about severe weather locally although a "strong" storm cannot be ruled out this evening.
A more active day is on tap for tomorrow. A humid air mass will be in place and a cold front will approach. Not a washout but...especially in the afternoon, we expect a few rounds of wet weather.
Notice the cluster of heavier-looking storms on the NAM model over SE Ohio. That's where the highest risk of severe weather is Thursday afternoon and evening. We can't rule it out across the Valley but the odds of hail and damaging winds are lower here.
FRIDAY: SETTING TABLE FOR WEEKEND
Friday will be a transitional day with decreasing clouds and lowering dewpoints. Look for a nice summer evening. The weekend still looks awesome with wall-to-wall sunshine and warm temperatures. Hit the pool!
LONG RANGE
A cold front will approach Monday night...ahead of it, a hot and humid day Monday with temperatures approaching 90.
Behind it, a brief cool down for midweek.
