Dew points rose to the mid 60's since Warm Front passage. Winds became S at 5-12 mph early morning and up until Warm Front passage, then SW at 10-20g25 mph behind the front, then SW-W at 15-25g30 mph since within the past hour.

And, N side of Findlay... 7:21 am EDT... 10:52 am EDT... 12:00 noon EDT... And, 12:01 pm EDT... A very warm and humid air mas, more typical of June than early May, will be in place across nw.OH and vicinity through tomorrow and Friday. A weak Cold Front will move across nw.OH Friday evening, then become stationary across the OH Valley Saturday and Sunday. A weakening Mesoscale Convective System ("MCS") over sw.lower MI should be near Toledo, OH by around 2:00 pm EDT. Although this MCS is expected to weaken further, the outflow boundary expected to result from it will likely act as a trigger for the development of t-storms across nw.OH this afternoon. For this afternoon and evening, SPC-Norman (OK) has the NE 3/4 of OH (including all of nw.OH), the N 2/5 of IN, and the S 3/5 of lower MI, under a Slight Risk for severe t-storms with damaging wind gusts and large hail. SPC's severe weather outlooks for tomorrow and for Friday as they pertain to OH/IN/MI remain as presented in my preceding report on this thread.
