Overall Drier Pattern
into Early August
Jim Noel
The pattern change from wet to dry has arrived. For the remainder of
July expect temperatures not too far from normal, some days above some
days slightly below. Nothing real extreme to note in the temperatures.
Humidity will also fluctuate from higher to lower to higher. Overall,
moisture in the air will be typical for July. The one thing that will
be different is the rainfall pattern. July has been a drier month for
many areas. After a few showers or storms early this week, the next
rain chance will be late this Friday into the weekend. It appears most
should be 0.50-1.0 inches with the range being 0.25 to 3.00 inches.
However, after this rain event it looks like rainfall will go back to
being limited for the rest of July and possibly into early August.
August is shaping up to be warmer than normal with a drier start and
wetter finish.
For the next two weeks the attached rainfall map from NOAA/NWS/Ohio
River Forecast Center shows rainfall will average 0.75 to 2.75 inches
across Ohio with isolated totals higher and lower than that. The
heaviest rains will be to the south and east of Ohio.
