A sizzler of a June day to take us into the weekend, with highs near 90° aided by a southwest breeze. Scattered showers will push in from the west this evening, with more widespread t-showers by early AM. Some of those will carry through southern counties and intensify through mid-morning, with a midday gap likely (good news for Big Boy viewing, OWE Festival and many other events). Watch for more storms to redevelop mainly south of Toledo by mid-afternoon onward.

From scurrying rats to calculating cats, quite a few mammals use whiskers to feel their way around the world. The world’s largest land mammal may not come to mind first here, but the number of whiskers on some elephant trunks runs close to a thousand.

Today’s lake breeze kept us to the 60s in much of NW Ohio/SE Michigan — and with clear skies overnight, we’ll dip to the mid-40s by sunrise Sunday. The afternoons will still easily carry a warming trend through the first week of June: mid-70s Sunday, 80s from the midweek onward. There’s a very low chance of a sprinkle or two to the southwest of Toledo on Monday, then it’s a bone-dry forecast through the work week.
