5/7: Dan’s Wednesday AM Forecast

1 week ago | 13abc.com | Dan Smith

The soaking rain is finally done, paving the way for midweek highs in the low-70s under partly sunny skies -- once we clear out patchy dense fog this morning. A weak cold front tonight will deliver some scattered showers Thursday morning, cooling highs temporarily back near 60F and keeping a lake breeze going through Friday. Mother’s Day weekend is still on pace for high pressure to win out, leaving us with the 70s again and a decent dose of Vitamin D — and flirting with the 80s past the weekend.

5/4: Dan’s Sunday AM Forecast

1 week ago | 13abc.com | Dan Smith

Showers have returned this morning, with the strongest surge expected now through mid-afternoon coming from the southeast. Some locations could see over an inch of rainfall, as northeast gusts keep us to the 50s again. Monday will bring more (non-severe) scattered storms from the southeast, though highs will warm to the mid-60s — and mid-70s by Wednesday as the stubborn low slowly clears east. High pressure then takes hold as we enter a lovely Mother’s Day weekend in the 70s.
5/3: Dan’s Saturday AM Forecast

1 week ago | 13abc.com | Dan Smith

It’s not the best weather for Cedar Point opening weekend, as light to moderate showers will keep surging up from the southwest all day — and from the southeast Sunday, especially in the morning. 1″+ of rainfall is possible through the weekend, with northeast gusts off the lake past 35 mph tomorrow. The new week marks a turning point, with highs in the mid-60s — though the “cutoff low” will continue to deliver scattered thundershowers.
5/2: Dan’s Friday Noon Forecast

1 week ago | 13abc.com | Dan Smith

We’re tracking thundershowers racing east-northeast through the afternoon hours, some of which could put out some hail and gusty winds east of I-75. A “cutoff low” will keep flinging scattered showers our way all through Cedar Point opening weekend, most likely Saturday PM and Sunday AM. Highs will struggle to get out of the 50s until Monday, reaching the 70s and starting to dry out by the midweek.

4/27: Dan’s Sunday AM Forecast

2 weeks ago | 13abc.com | Dan Smith

We’re tamping down the wind but keeping the sun through your Sunday, as highs make a run at the mid-60s — with similar conditions getting us to the mid-70s Monday. Tuesday remains a wildcard, though storms continue trending farther southeast of Toledo. Rain chances are dropping, as the cold front is slated to arrive by mid to late afternoon -- though gusty winds and large hail could still be hazards. 40+ mph southwest gusts and highs in the low-80s are still on pace outside of storms.
4/23: Dan’s Wednesday Noon Forecast

3 weeks ago | 13abc.com | Dan Smith

One gorgeous day in the Glass City deserves another, as highs make a run at the 80s with a few pop-up showers this afternoon. Thursday’s spotty showers should be relegated to areas east of I-75, again with highs in the low-80s. Friday PM will provide thundershowers, and up to 1″ of rain in the gauges by early Saturday morning. A cooler weekend in the 60s won’t last long, as we shoot back up to the mid-80s Tuesday; however, that could set us up for strong storms that evening.
4/22: Dan’s Tuesday Noon Forecast

3 weeks ago | 13abc.com | Dan Smith

After 50+ mph gusts blew through the region yesterday, it’s a slightly cooler and much calmer Earth Day out there as highs make a run near 70F. A few showers will develop for the midweek midday, warming to the mid-70s Wednesday -- and the low-80s Thursday under drier conditions. Friday will be anything but dry, with 1″ of rain possible in some spots through Saturday morning -- leaving us in the 60s through the weekend, but shooting right back up to the 80s early next week.
4/20: Dan’s Sunday AM Forecast

3 weeks ago | 13abc.com | Dan Smith

It’s a much different picture this morning, with decent sunshine for Easter sunrise services — and dry for the egg hunts. Only a passing shower is possible now for this afternoon, as highs make a run between 50-55F in Toledo (40s along the shoreline, 60s south). Isolated thundershowers redevelop overnight as a warm front lifts north, then a brief though gusty line as the cold front sweeps east before noon. Watch for southwest gusts past 40 mph again, as highs top out in the low-70s.
4/19: Dan’s Saturday AM Forecast

It’s been a sleepless night for some (but not all) in NW Ohio, as scattered storms rolled through. Watch for more gusty thundershowers through today, coming from the southwest (especially this morning). Easter Sunday’s lake breeze will keep shoreline locations to the 40s, Toledo to the low-50s, and closer to the 60 toward Findlay. Morning egg hunts should remain dry, with some breaks of sun for sunrise services before scattered showers after noon.
