THE WEEKLY - July 8-14

Believe it or not, my lawn is starting to get a little crunchy. Even though we just went through an impressive heat wave, we also just had our rainiest month of the year too. This past week we saw just a little over a tenth of an inch, which has definitely left neighborhood lawns on the dry side.

It looks like the next week won't offer much help for our lawns, as we only have rain the forecast one day, and that would be Tuesday:

Unlike with previous frontal boundries, we're actually set up for a favorable thunderstorm potential on Tuesday. The front will be moving in to Western and Central Ohio right around the peak of heating, probably 2-4pm. This won't be a high shear environment, so don't expect any tornadic cells.

After Tuesday? A brief cooldown to the low 80s followed by the heat again. Luckily I don't think we'll see any dewpoints touching 80 degrees like we did last week.

It's getting in to the dead of Summer, where we probably won't see much severe weather for the foreseeable future and warm temps throughout.
