**Cue the spooky music** Tomorrow night's full moon will fall on Friday the 13th. It is also a rare "micro" harvest moon. The last time a full moon fell on Friday the 13th was 13 years ago on January of 2006. It will happen again in another 13 and a half years.

Today will probably be the most extreme weather day on Lake Erie in my 10+ years forecasting in this area. Waves 20-24 feet in the middle of the lake. Sustained winds may reach 60 mph with gusts up to 80 mph.

Holy Toledo! No filter here, this is a snapshot off of our riverfront action camera this morning. This is the 2nd epic sunrise in a week. The mix of sun and clouds will stick around today with a high in the mid to upper 70s.

Light pillars in Toledo! No we were not invaded by an alien spacecraft, or have the aurora. We had the perfect combo of suspended plate-like ice crystals, arctic air, and calm winds that took artificial light sources and turned them into beams of light shooting high into the sky.

WOW! I have not seen the wave forecast simulations show waves at 24 feet on Lake Erie before!! Also a massive amount of freezing spray is likely from this storm.

That Saharan dust plume is still expected to arrive this weekend several thousand feet above our heads. That will help turn the blue sky a milky white and could give us a colorful sunrise and sunset on Saturday and possibly again on Sunday.

The National Weather Service has issued a Wind Chill Watch starting late Tue and running through Thu. Temperatures are expected to stay below 0° for 60 straight hours. The wind chill will drop below -30 and could approach -50 near the Indiana line. The worst arrives Wed AM.

Check this out! While we are all trying to stay in our lanes on the road, the massive 704 foot long cargo ship, H. Lee White, is threading the needle on staying away from the ice on the Maumee River as it departs downtown Toledo. This was around 7:30am this morning.

Does anybody wish they were on the other side of the lake? A historic lake-effect snowstorm with thundersnow is possible south of Buffalo, New York late today through the weekend. Predictor is showing the potential for 50"+ of snow (or more than 4 feet) south of the city.

No big changes overnight. Snow begins around 7am tomorrow. 5-9" expected on Wednesday for most (just 1-5" southeast). An additional 4-6" on Wednesday night, and another 5-7" is expected on Thursday. That puts totals in the 14-22" range for most of the area, and 10-18" southeast.

Did you hear the loud booms overnight? There is a lot of moisture in the ground. Add that to the massive temp drop since Monday, and that ice in the ground is expanding. Once the stress is too much, a crack in the ice develops and that sends off a loud boom.

This is going to be the space event of our lifetime, but not everyone will be in the path of darkness for the April 8th 2024 solar eclipse. Findlay, Tiffin, Upper Sandusky, and Norwalk will be among some of the best locations in the world to view the eclipse.

Get ready for the one of the strangest sunrises in years across the Great Lakes. This Thursday AM (June 10th) an annular partial solar eclipse will be in progress at sunrise. Sunrise time is around 6am. So as the sun comes up over the horizon, it will be crescent shaped.

Wow! Check this out...We have all lived it, but it is pretty amazing to see the side by side comparison. In a matter of just 9 days, we went from deep snow and widespread ice on Lake Erie to nearly snow & ice free with muddy waters reaching the mouth of the Maumee.

Do you want to see the brightest and largest looking full moon of the year? Tuesday evening is your chance. The full snow moon will rise at 6:25pm in the east. While the term "supermoon" gets used all the time, this will be the closest full moon of 2019.

Light pillars are a rare and bizarre sight in this part of the country. During very cold and calm conditions, where ice crystals are present, street lights can refract into light beams stretching high into the sky. That might happen for some later tonight.

**Breaking-3rd Largest Snowstorm On Record**
The National Weather Service just confirmed that the Toledo snow total was revised to 14.5" for Monday and Tuesday combined. So unless you are older than 109 years old, this is the largest snowstorm you have witnessed in Toledo.

Now is the time to think ahead about how you, and your family will stay cool during the worst heat wave of 2019. Air temperatures will be around 95 to 100 degrees on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. The heat index will be around 103 to 113 during that time.

We mentioned yesterday the snow totals were in question as the storm system could take a track to the north, or drop to the south. Well it is apparent this morning, this storm system is likely to take that southern route which means heavy snow is likely.

The storm is still on track. Nearly an inch fell overnight. Light snow will develop again this morning, heavy snow this afternoon and evening. A storm total of 3-6" is still expected north, 2-4" south.

Mother Nature is doing her best to cancel fall this year for the eastern 2/3rds of the country. Another surge of warmth will likely keep us with above average temperatures in early October. Keep in mind average highs in early October are in the middle to upper 60s.

Here comes spring...Trees are starting to leaf out now in the Queen City of Cincinnati. This is the earliest leaf out on record near the Ohio River as trees start to bud a solid 3 weeks earlier than normal. It is going to be an interesting spring if this trend continues.

Do you remember this? 8 years ago today capped off one of the worst weeks of winter weather on record. Nearly 2 feet of snow fell in that week. Today's record low of -15 was set, and the wind chill was the worst in 2 decades at -45.

I don't think I have seen such a wild swing in the "feels like" temperature in my career. About every 5 years we have the wind chill below -35. About every 5 years we have a heat index over 110...this year we get both in less 6 months.

Toledo has recorded 4.13” of rain as of 10pm. This is the 10th largest 3-day rain total in the past 150 years. If we get another 0.37” (very likely), that would make this the biggest rain event in 101 years and 6th largest on record.

The sky was mostly clear at 5am, but right at sunrise a deck of clouds rolled off of Lake Erie. I didn't think the sun was going to emerge. However, the outline of our closest star appeared like magic through the clouds in the last 10 minutes of the eclipse.

Arrives between 3pm today and 3pm Friday. Here is the timeline and snow totals. Light snow this afternoon with a half inch of snow possible. Another inch of snow is expected tonight. 0.5" to 1.5" of snow arrives tomorrow (highest totals east, lowest totals west).

Did you miss this? The US snow cover extent is the largest since these specific satellite observations have been kept in 2003. I am sure if we had data from the 1970s, we would find other times where the snow/ice extent was similar, but this is substantial to say the least.
1

We have been consistent for days saying that snow would be our 3rd biggest threat in this storm, not our biggest. Damaging winds and extreme cold remain the top 2 concerns. With that said, several inches of snow could still accumulate as well.

A new record high was set in Toledo! We hit 84-degrees. The old record of 83-degrees was set back in 1991.

Confidence is growing that heavy snow could complicate the Friday AM commute with slick and slow travel. The storm is moving into northern California right now and we expect the next batch of weather data late morning will help fine tune the storm track and snow totals forecast.

Every state in the eastern part of the country will be impacted by extreme weather this weekend...except for Florida!

A cold front will move in on Tuesday bringing a chance for a few showers and mild air. Cold air is expected to return on Wednesday and Thursday with snow, sleet, and freezing rain likely. It is too early to know if the impact will be significant here, but we are watching it.

Are you ready for summer? That weekend forecast has not changed, and the upper 70s to low 80s are possible by next Tuesday with more humidity.

If you can avoid traveling Friday, you should. Road conditions will be dangerous at best, and some rural roads will likely become impassible. Snow totals may or may not be impressive. Even if we end up with 4" of snow, that will encounter winds gusting between 50-60 mph Friday.

**Breaking** The National Weather Service says 12.4" of snow fell in Toledo. That makes this the 5th largest snowstorm on record, but there is now more snow on the ground than any time since 1978. 17" of snow covers the grass, that is the 3rd highest amount on record.

24
Are you ready for fall? A big shot of cool air could arrive late next week. Current weather maps suggest highs near 70, lows near 50, and waterspouts likely on Lake Erie. That would be an early October-like pattern. We will keep you posted on the trends.

7 years ago on this date a historic March heat wave started and it shattered records. The first day of spring felt like the middle of summer. It was the earliest in the season we have ever hit 80°. The two days at 85° are the hottest March days on record.

What type of weather makes you mad? A flood of studies show both extreme heat and a lack of sunshine can lead to anger and depression. We are currently in the middle of the gloomiest pattern in years. Sunshine returns Sunday.

Friday is "One To Watch" as a storm system could bring heavy snow and wind to the area starting between daybreak to mid-morning. The storm track is uncertain. Some weather maps show this storm tracking far enough north to give us rain or far enough south to give us little snow.

It won't snow for a long period on Tuesday, but it will come at the worst time possible, the morning drive. A heavy wet snow is expected to start around 5am and will switch over to rain between 8am and 10am.

In the last 24 hours the viewing area had 4,240 lightning strikes. We average 113,000 strikes a year. That is 9 lightning flashes per square mile. To put that in perspective, Wildwood Metropark is roughly one square mile in size. That is a lot of electricity.

Unless you remember the blizzard of 1978, or somehow are more than 121 years old, this is the most snow you have seen in the Toledo area. 17" of snow is on the ground after the 5th largest (2-day total) snowstorm on record brought 12.4" overnight.
