My thanks to Dr. Martin-Carrillo at University College Dublin for his expertise here! The fact this thing pulsed for a full day is nuts.

10-day forecast for Toledo, Ohio: low-60s Wed/Thu (patchy frost Thu/Fri AM), rising slowly through the mid-70s by early next week.

10-DAY: Our temperature bars will look much like the leaves slowly turning through mid-month. We'll have midweek highs in the 60s behind this evening's front, with patchy frost possible west of Toledo Thursday/Friday mornings.

3:30pm temps in NW Ohio/SE Michigan: low-70s Toledo, upper-70s south, mid-50s Hillsdale.

Forecast highs for Toledo, Ohio: low-70s and falling (scattered showers) Tuesday, low-60s Wed/Thu, warming to low-70s for the weekend.

FORECAST HIGHS: No 80s on the board for at least the next week... the last time that happened in Toledo was late August through September 1st. Watch for off-and-on showers clearing by sunset Tuesday, then staying dry again for several days. Patchy frost is possible west of I-75 Thursday/Friday AM.

Thursday/Friday morning patchy frost possible, mainly west of I-75 in NW Ohio/SE Michigan.

Mother Nature seems to have gotten the memo that early/mid-October is our average first frost west of I-75! Both Thursday/Friday mornings will try to dip to the mid-30s out that way.

Enderlin, ND tornado from June 20th has been upgraded to EF-5 (210+ mph estimated peak wind). 3 deaths as this twister was on the ground for 19 minutes. Several fully loaded grain hopper train cars were tipped over, and an empty tanker car was tossed nearly 500 ft.

After careful review, @nws.noaa.gov has upgraded a June tornado in North Dakota to EF-5 status -- the first since Moore, OK in May 2013. Estimated peak winds: 210+ mph. 🌪️

Lions looking good, Jays CRUSHING the Yankees... I'm almost glad the Leafs aren't playing to ruin the "my blue teams are actually doing well on a sports Sunday" streak.

Sunset over a body of water, reflecting the sun nearly on the horizon with mid-level clouds.

Lydia Gery caught this reflective sunset over Findlay Reservoir back on Thursday. Clouds won't be much of a factor this weekend, though Tuesday is still on pace to deliver scattered thundershowers. 🌅

Exactly! You should use it to make an entire goose instead.

Yes! All six Wienermobiles currently in working order did that race back in May... not sure if it's the winning car, though it had the unique license plate of "OH I WISH".
