Do you want to give you a 12 hour loop If
you're joining us this morning and thinking,
where do those storms come from?
Well, we did have a system that moved
in and you can see they were strong
storms rolled through central Ohio.
But now we're waking up to some
leftover cloud debris is what I like
to call it from yesterday's storms.
Hey, you know what else happened
late last night with the storms?
It helped to clear out some of the
nasty haze that we had yesterday.
So today's air quality forecast
is better and more friendly for
our friends who do have breathing.
Limitations.
So we are now under the moderate level as
far as our air quality for the day today.
Yesterday, if you were watching us,
the overall haze was so nasty outside.
Now I'm not saying it's that great
looking at our TEN TV tower Cam,
but it is a major improvement
compared to yesterday at this time.
Temperatures currently are very comfortable.
I encourage you to grab that cup of coffee
and go for a nice little stroll this morning.
Many of us are actually waking
up in the 50s this morning.
Which again, is a rare July treat.
We don't wake up in the
50s every morning in July,
so I definitely think you should enjoy that.
Dew points are in the low 60s,
so whenever I see these two
numbers close together,
I have to watch out for fog.
Thankfully,
we do have a little bit more of
a wind this morning coming in
from the South at around 7 mph.
Let's get to your hour by hour
forecast so that you can plan your day.
I will tell you,
don't put away the umbrella just yet
because we will have the chance of
seeing some showers and storms popping on up.
As we go through the afternoon today,
it's not a washout of a day.
However,
during the afternoon and early evening
we will have the better chance of some
of those popup showers and storms.
Now back to the satellite and radar picture.
No rain out there this morning.
They're waking up completely dry and
let's get to your hour by hour forecast.
I'll show you the high res model
as far as today's storm chance.
Now what's going to happen?
Today is a very typical summer like setup,
temperatures climbing into the
80s and we'll get that heat and
humidity mixing together.
And what do you know,
we'll begin to wash as some widely
scattered showers and thunderstorms
begin to pop up across the area.
It is not looking likely that
we'll have severe weather today,
So any storm that pops up,
I will call it a friendly thunderstorm,
it'll give us.
A nice little quick car wash,
if you want to call it that too.
As we go through the afternoon
and as we head into this evening,
we begin to dry out.
Now,
by tomorrow morning,
implications are that we'll wake up
to some areas of fog again,
but by tomorrow afternoon or
Wednesday is looking drier.
So if you want to hit the pool tomorrow,
I think it'll be a good pool day for you.
One day that will not be a
good pool day is Thursday.
Now looking at the high resolution
data which only goes out so far,
but I wanted to give you the
brand new data this morning.
This is what we're looking at.
This is Thursday at 1:30 in the afternoon
as we go through the later part of the
afternoon heading into the evening
and this just updated this morning.
Look at that wide area of showers
and thunderstorms rolling in from
north to South across the area,
the heavy rainfall,
gusty winds.
So Thursday will likely be another
alert day for us here as we're tracking
the potential for severe weather.
So for Thursday afternoon
through Thursday evening the.
Biggest impacts will be large hail up to
quarter size and strong winds up to 60
plus mph similar to what we had yesterday.
We'll likely have another round of
severe weather for our Thursday,
so now is the time to make
sure you're weather aware,
especially got some after
after plans for Thursday.
Probably best to go ahead and maybe you
know keep them on hold and continue
to watch us here at wake Up Sea
Bus because we'll likely have some
strong storms moving in on Thursday.
It's going to be along with a cold.
Cold front.
So what does that mean?
The cold front is going to usher in some
cooler air just in time for the weekend.
So I think by Friday,
Saturday and Sunday,
we're looking at a beautiful weekend.
There's a lot of fairs going on
this weekend here in Central Ohio.
Go ahead and buy those tickets and
head out to those fairs because
we're looking at lots of sunshine
Saturday and Sunday behind the cold
front with some nice and refreshing
temperatures in the low to mid 80s.
