Well, hello there. Great to see.
I'm W 211 Chief Meteorologist Cs
Vickers with major heat and humy
that's going to be ahead for our Friday.
It's going to be a hot and humid setting
and get used to this soaring het
and humidity going to take us te
low to mid 90s and that heat in,
what it will feel like may top
triple digits as we get into Fr.
So enjoy what we've got for our Thursday.
Some of the cloud cover we had early in
the day going to keep us relatively a
bit more comfortable compared to what
the heat is going to feel like by Friday.
Partly sunny skies for the first
few hours into the afternoon.
More sunshine develops late in the day.
It should be a bright brilliantd
of the afternoon and into the evening.
Really some stellar looking conditions.
Sunshine could be around through sunset,
which is now before 9:00 PM andh
clear skies with light winds tot
we're going to dip back close te
lower 70s. How about this thoug?
Recap of the storm damage repors
that we had across the area,
widespread wind damage, torrential rain,
and even some large hail that was reported.
Let's head out toward the Lakeshore areas
where we had some wind and tree damage.
That was across parts of Ottawa
and in the Erie County.
Some higher wind reports out
there towards Cedar Point,
up toward Johnson's Island,
Marblehead, back toward Port Clinton,
and just off of South Bass Isla.
We had a measured wind gust of
66 mph here in the Toledo Metro.
Widespread tree damage,
power outages and flash flooding that
we are still dealing with Some of the
impacts and power outages due te
high winds that came through the area.
Now how about the rainfall?
It was torrential amounts of ra.
Several waves of rain that came
through the area in Lucas Countt
one point late Wednesday and eay
Thursday was under a flash flood
warning and you can see why.
Two to three,
even up to four inches of
rain that was reported.
I did have a report out there toward Oregon,
just outside of Martin,
of 4.5 inches of rainfall
that was actually measured.
So torrential rain was one of te
factors of what we had to deal .
Up toward Hillsdale County,
we had about 2-3,
even up to four inches of rain,
and much of the afternoon and evening
is headed across southern Michi.
Even toward Adrian,
where the Lenawee County Fair is taking
place was washed out due to sto.
Just updated power outage numbe.
Lucas County,
we're still looking at about
10,000 customers without power.
That's about 5% of the county.
Monroe County still dealing
with just shy of 4800 customers
without power And Lenawee Count,
some vast improvements,
but still about 1600 customers
that are without power.
How about the storms that
they rumbled through the area?
This was from Nate Ward of that
incoming shelf cloud from Perryg
and looked at shelf in the signf
winds that are rushing out ahead of a
thunderstorm and what would have followed
this gusty winds and torrential rain.
And we had numerous reports of t
fantastic clouds and a lot of damage,
reports that came in from our viewers.
Sandusky County storm saw a similar thing.
And how about this storm last
night out toward Archbold rollig
across parts of Fulton County?
Dark skies, dark clouds and
very ominous looking conditions.
So what's going to be next for s
we go through our Thursday to Friday?
That heat Dome is going to be building
across the nation's midsection from Texas
into the southern and central plains.
We're talking scorching triple t
heat that is going to be searing
much of the country now.
We're going to be in the upper
80s near 90 here in Ohio.
We're just on the edge or cusp
of that heat Dome.
It is expected to be expanding though
as get into Friday and that heas
going to be moving into the lower Great
Lakes again just on the edge of,
but should be good for low to mid 90s
across our area as we get into a Friday.
So what to expect with your hour
by hour forecast for rest of to.
We do anticipate we are going to be dry
near shower and storm threat going to
be closer to about the I-70 corridor.
So that's central and southern s
of Ohio partly clouded to mostly
clear skies anticipated tonight.
It did a Friday morning.
Still some uncertainty how this
is going to play out,
but there's a couple waves of some showers
and storms that will be possible Friday.
It is going to be a hot and
sticky day where we do get a few
of those storms to develop.
Not another question.
We may get a few strong to severe storms
again Friday afternoon and even.
There's a high degree of uncerty
on where or if these storms will
be developing in a Friday night.
One more wave of storms that wil
be possible could include some
heavy downpours once again.
So we'll monitor the risk of soe
flooding or widespread heavy ra.
Friday night and into Saturday
should dry out.
Then very swiftly into the weekend ahead 89,
The high for your Thursday
very warm and humid,
partly sunny skies turning
brighter through the course of e
afternoon and into the evening.
Extended 10 day forecast has upr
80s for Thursday, low to mid 90.
As we get into Friday there is g
to be the chance or likelihood of some
scattered showers and storms Fr.
Where we see those storms still highly
uncertain and to the degree of r
magnitude of strength still is uncertain.
But keep an eye on that one.
There is the risk of a few
strongest severe storms,
few storms early Saturday mornig
that may be gone by
mid morning and then we'll havey
conditions through Saturday afternoon.
Sunday look a great lower 80s ad
will stay in the 80s majority of
next week which rounds out the
month of July and begins the moh
of August that things look fairy
quiet across a good chunk of the
area as we go through the better
part of that 10 day forecast.
Have a great Thursday.
