Tuesday Mostly sunny, with a high near 91. Just for the record, those are for downtown Dayton. The airport, where official records are kept is 200-300 feet higher in elevation and north of the city near Vandalia, Ohio. Point-click forecast centered over Cox Dayton International Airport is slightly lower, but still suggests at least 2 days at or above 90F and a close call on Tuesday of next week. Either way, I'm sure Spartman will be much relieved to see the 90+ drought come to an end. Sunday Sunny, with a high near 91. Sunday Night Mostly clear, with a low around 69. Monday Sunny, with a high near 93. Monday Night Partly cloudy, with a low around 66. Tuesday Mostly sunny, with a high near 89. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes they are expecting pretty heavy ground level smoke with the cold front pushing through currently. Looks like that burnt plastic smell will stick around for a solid 48 hours. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinook Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Some storms were severe in Minnesota/Wisconsin tonight. These storms are struggling with the cap and weakening of the daytime heat. They aren't struggling with shear, as that's pretty darn good for this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrdIowPitMsp Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Didn’t see a drop of rain with the passing cold front yesterday. Today would be a perfect summers day if it weren’t for the smoke. Mid 70s and breezy. Upcoming heat wave doesn’t look out of the ordinary. Low to mid 90s but nothing approaching record territory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

weatherbo Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Showers with some embedded thunder moved through last night after I fell asleep. Rain gauge reads .74 this morning. A breezy, cool couple days before a warm saturday with 85 predicted. On a side note, today is the first day this season the sunlight loss has reached 3 minutes a day. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrdIowPitMsp Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 So far the smoke has been minimal, leading to a picture perfect day of low 70s, good air quality and breezy. I sure hope it stays this way. First bust on an air quality alert I can remember. I don’t see any major air quality issues in the immediate upstream, but that can change rapidly. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian D Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Front passed through pretty quickly yesterday, instead of a rain train for a little while like I was hoping for, so 0.43" in the bucket (1.20" for the month). It's something. Lawn went from partly golden to all green today. Even heard geese moving around, so that's a sign of the season coming to an end soon. Looks like some smoke will be back in the forecast for me, but sat images don't show anything to bad, at least in comparison to weeks past.

Brian D Posted August 17, 2023 Share Posted August 17, 2023 Aug temps so far show the bigger swings in max temps around here along the shoreline. Min's stay relatively close. Pretty typical summer so far this year, except for precip.

Chambana Posted August 18, 2023 Author Share Posted August 18, 2023 Low of 53 tomorrow then mega heat cranks next week. Virtually zero precipitation in the forecast for 10 days. End of August/beginning of September has been a hot bed of hot temps in recent years. I speak for all when I say a strengthening El Niño is a welcome site after years of La Niña.
