A nice day ahead

Through the morning fog… I see a very nice afternoon for the Miami Valley!  At times this morning, visibility has been reduced to almost zero in spots.  Here is a picture of downtown Dayton taken from Miami Valley Hospital this morning:

Thanks to Bruce for sharing.  The fog should continue to mix out through 10am.  Then we’ll see plenty of sunshine!  And the sun will help warm temperatures across the area.  We should see highs near 83 this afternoon.  Finally, back in the 80s!

As of yesterday, our average monthly temperature is 68.9 degrees.  The coolest July on record is 69.2, so we are on pace to set a new record!  But will we?  Over the next week or so, temperatures will be closer to normal.  So we may end up evening out.  But it will still likely be *one of* the coolest Julys on record.

A cold front will approach on Saturday afternoon.  We’ll be warm and more humid ahead of the front… and it will be a breezy day:

Expect scattered showers and thunderstorms… some could be strong.  We are in a slight risk for severe weather, with damaging winds and hail being the main threat:

Sunday looks nice… a lot of dry weather… but also the potential for a spotty shower/t’storm in the afternoon.  Not a wash-out weekend by any means… just keep an eye to the sky! 

Hope you have a good one!  High fives for FRIDAY!!

    is the average monthly temp taken by hourly reports or daily highs and lows?…im assuming it’s the hourly average.

    Andrew, the monthly average comes from the daily averages… average high and low temps… not every hour.
