Ohio Ag Weather and Forecast August 16, 2023

Dry today over Ohio with full sunshine. Humidity values will be lower and overall we expect pleasant conditions, even though we likely are a good 8-10 degrees warmer today than yesterday.

Rain returns tomorrow as a frontal complex moves across the Great Lakes, spreading action into OH from the north. We are looking for rain totals of .1″-.6″ with coverage at 70%. Action should be done by sunset. The map below shows tomorrow’s potential.

A pattern change settles in to finish the week and stays through a large part of next week. We will be sunny and dry with excellent evaporation. Temps will be cooler for Friday and Saturday, but warm quickly as the weekend finishes and for next week. Humidity climbs as well next week, and this will be the warmest stretch of weather in several weeks. Rain free weather goes through at least next Friday, and likely will stretch further. The second half of August, in contrast with the first half, will be below normal on precipitation, and above normal on temps.
