4/13: Dan’s Sunday AM Forecast

1 week ago | 13abc.com | Dan Smith

Spotty showers are the order of your Sunday -- west of I-75 this morning, along/east this evening -- as highs top out near 60F. Monday’s thundershowers will likely stay southeast of Toledo, where gusty winds could feature along the line closer to Lima/Findlay/Upper Sandusky. The start of the week will be breezy (35 mph gusts), though Tuesday’s gusts will climb higher: 40-45 mph from the northwest, as highs dip near 50F.
4/12: Dan’s Saturday AM Forecast

1 week ago | 13abc.com | Dan Smith

Saturday will be much sunnier than the last few days have been, with highs in the mid-50s. Sunday keeps the warming trend going, though scattered showers will develop in the morning and again in the evening hours. Monday’s mid-60s will also come with late-day thundershowers and gusty winds -- the latter of which will carry into Tuesday with 40 mph northwest gusts as highs drop to the upper-40s.
4/6: Dan’s Sunday AM Forecast

2 weeks ago | 13abc.com | Dan Smith

We’ve picked up nearly 4″ of rain in Toledo in the last week, with much more to the south — though flood warnings are being gradually canceled one by one as river levels subside. Watch for more light rain showers today, with highs in the mid-40s.A thin but quick band of rain switching to wet flakes behind Monday’s cold front won’t amount to much — a coating on the grass, if that — but could still reduce visibility in the mid-afternoon, as winds shift from the northwest gusting between 35-40 mph.

While the heavier showers have cleared east, up to 1/2″ more rain will add up through the early evening. Keep an eye on minor flooding on the riverbanks, and check your sump pumps. Sunday will be relatively dry in the mid-40s (sprinkles possible), before more wind and some wet flakes mix in with Monday’s round of light showers.
7/28: Dan’s Sunday AM Forecast

Jul 27, 2024 | 13abc.com | Dan Smith

Patchy fog is once again leading off this weekend morning, with highs aiming for our first 90s at Toledo Express in more than 5 weeks. Watch for showers gradually moving back in overnight, becoming scattered thundershowers Monday/Tuesday. Highs will remain in the mid-80s to low-90s all through the week, with tropical humidity making it feel even more sweltering. Afternoon pop-up storms follow us all the way into Jeep Fest Weekend, though so far things are looking dry for parade time.
First Alert Weather Day: Gusty storms early Tuesday AM

Jul 15, 2024 | 13abc.com | Dan Smith

A First Alert Weather Day has been issued for tonight (early Tuesday morning, July 16th). Gusty winds past 60 mph are possible with a line of storms racing through between midnight and 5 a.m. (closer to 1 a.m. to 3 a.m. for Toledo). This line will weaken as it chugs east, meaning the greatest threat for damaging winds (and isolated tornadoes, given the wind shear) will generally be for western counties.
5/30: Dan’s Thursday Noon Forecast

May 30, 2024 | 13abc.com | Dan Smith

Our coolest morning in a few weeks will lead to a nice sunny (and dry) afternoon in the low-70s, with similar conditions to close out May. We roll into June this weekend with some evening scattered thundershowers both days, as highs return near the 80-degree mark. The heat and humidity will keep rising early next week, feeling appropriately summerlike as PM storm chances slowly follow suit and peak Friday.
5/25: Dan’s Saturday AM Forecast

May 24, 2024 | 13abc.com | Dan Smith

A weak cold front drifting east won’t do much to keep highs from reaching the low-80s, though it could fire up a few extra pop-up storms east of I-75 this afternoon. Sunday will see similar highs and more scattered PM storms. While the severe threat is mostly SW of Toledo, these storms could still pack gusty winds racing eastward, especially between sunset and midnight. Charge your phones and stay weather-aware for any of those holiday weekend plans.
A Bad Finfluence - Stars Of Love Island And The Only Way Is Essex Face Criminal Prosecution From The FCA

5/20: Dan’s Monday Noon Forecast

May 20, 2024 | 13abc.com | Dan Smith

Our first 90° day of 2024 may be followed up by two more, with another sizzler to start the work week. A few isolated storms are already bubbling up this afternoon, with a larger line over Indiana expected to lose intensity before reaching us in NW Ohio overnight. Tomorrow will keep the heat and humidity going, then the midweek provides the main rain chance across the board for the week with morning thundershowers rolling in from the west.
