Friday saw the coolest morning lows since early July.  The next few nights will see modest increases in the overnight lows.  Humidity levels should creep upwards Tuesday into Wednesday, which will then keep lows in the mid/upper 60s.

A cold front will allow much cooler (and less humid) air to overtake the region from Wednesday night through Friday morning.  Highs Thursday will only reach the mid 70s, and lows Thursday night/Friday morning will dip to near 50° away from the lakeshore.  Areas well northwest of Toledo may even drop into the upper 40s.

The stretch of Wednesday, Thursday & Friday nights will be the coolest since early July.  The last time we had a low of near 50° was a 49° at Express Airport on July 2.

After some showers and storms today, the week ahead looks fairly calm.  There is the slight chance of a shower on Wednesday, but rain chances the remainder of the week remain low.

Highs will range in the low/mid 80s.  The coolest weather of the week should be Wednesday night through Friday morning.

A cold front will pass through the area late Sunday, allowing somewhat cooler and less humid air to build into the area Monday and Tuesday.

Daytime highs will return to normal levels — in the lower 80s.  Overnight lows will drop into the 50s for a few nights as well.  (August 7th is the only day this month with a low below 60°)

Dew points, which have been in the upper 60s and lower 70s, will finally drop into the mid 50s on Monday.  Once the dew point gets below 60, it feels very comfortable.

1:30 pm:  Severe storms exiting south out of Hardin county.  The rest of the tstorm watch should be cancelled after about the next hour.

12:50 PM:  T-storm warnings for Allen/Hardin counties.   Gusty storms elsewhere with heavy downpours.

12:20 PM:  Strong/severe storm now moving through Allen county.  Potential for some wind damage there.  The remaining storms on radar not currently severe.  Just very heay rain with gusty winds…although a few gusts may hit 40-50 mph briefly.  Severe threat will wane over the next few hours.

outlook from the National Weather Service’s Climate Prediction Center

Cooler, less humid air will return to the area during Thursday.  Thursday night and Friday will be fairly comfortable — similar to how Monday was this week.

Temps and humidity levels should creep back up a little early next week — which is the first full week of August.

Humidity levels will gradually drop Sunday and stay at comfortable levels through Monday night.  Some heat and humidity will return by mid-week.

The threat for severe storms will last into Saturday night.  Storms should diminish by Sunday morning, leading to a much more tranquil and comfortable pattern Sunday into Monday.

Storms may produce high winds and large hail.  With the very high humidity, torrential downpours will occur with the storms.  It will be possible to pick up an inch of rain in less than half an hour.  Repeated storms could cause rain totals of a few inches.

Humidity and temperature levels will drop significantly this week.  Highs Tuesday through Thursday will be in the 70s with overnight lows in the low/mid 50s (some areas north and west of Toledo may dip into the upper 40s).  This will be the coolest stretch since June 6-8.

Warm weather will return by next weekend.
