We could have a new global record low March temp of -105.5°F (if confirmed) from yesterday's reading at Vostok Station... by comparison, Kimble County TX pushed to 113°F. #Antarctica #cold #weather

REMINDER: All severe weather modes in play Thursday evening (Mar 26) in NW Ohio. Most likely timing: 5pm-11pm, closer to 8pm for Toledo. Front/storms moving generally south. ⛈️ #Toledo #Ohio #storms

10-DAY: Hey kids, find the cold front! Highlights: * Warming trend peaks Thursday in 70s * Thu eve cold front fires up storms (hail/high wind possible) * 40s/50s through final weekend of March #Toledo #weather

PREDICTOR: We're keeping a close eye on Thursday evening's storm potential. A good amount of wind shear in an unstable atmosphere could get those cells to produce hail and high winds along the cold front as it sinks southward through NW Ohio. #Ohio #storms #weather

Wyandot County has borne the brunt of many of our recent NW Ohio weather events! Brooke Morris sent us this aftermath of Sunday night's hail in Upper Sandusky. We're watching the potential for more hail and high winds along a sinking cold front Thursday evening. #Ohio #hail #storm

As we approach this Monday noon hour, temps are a good 30° cooler than yesterday across NW Ohio/SE Michigan. We'll warm back near 50° Tuesday, 60s Wednesday, and 70s Thursday ahead of the next stormy cold front.

Alesia Fackler snapped this soaring eagle shot overhead in Sylvania last weekend. This year's midwinter citizen survey had 715 bald eagle sightings across Ohio, with 87/88 counties reporting nests last year. 🦅 #Ohio #eagle #bird #nature

BAYBAW SZN, or as Jays fans call it, "I'm ready to get hurt again."

Going to PetSmart to check out Lucas County Pit Crew's pups and cats is becoming something of a family weekend tradition... links to adopt below! #dogs 🐾

10-DAY: A wide range of weekend temps, then a more neutral early week in NW Ohio. Highlights: * Lake breeze Sat (50s north, near-70° south) * Sunday cold front (30° range in highs along I-75 corridor); gusty storms possible south of Toledo after sunset #Toledo #weather

Connie Maassel snapped an absolute beauty of a Lake Erie sunrise from the shores near Curtice this Friday morning! 🌅 #Ohio #sunrise #nature

Heads up: We've got a close eye on some late Sunday storms (Mar 22) firing up between sunset and midnight, mainly in southern counties. Forcing along the cold front will be the big driver here, but a "capped" atmosphere (warmer air aloft) could limit storm development. #Ohio #storm

@noaa.gov's Climate Prediction Center has released their Spring 2026 outlook (April-June), with generally average temps over NW Ohio and precip running above average for the eastern Great Lakes region.

Spring has sprung! We'll gain a little over 3 hours more daylight in Toledo between now and June's summer solstice. 🌷

FORECAST HIGHS: A complicated one in the temperature department this weekend, with some thundershowers to cap it off. Highlights: * Breezy/few showers Fri * Lake breeze Sat (60° Toledo, 40s/50s lakeshore) * Stalling front Sun (40s/50s north, 70s south); PM t-showers #Toledo #weather

PREDICTOR: While Friday will provide a bit of a breeze (not NEARLY as gusty as last Friday proved), we'll reach the mid-60s in Toledo with a few spotty showers to close out the week. #Ohio #Michigan #weather

Quite a warmup this Thursday afternoon! Temps are 20-30° warmer across NW Ohio/SE Michigan compared to yesterday, and we'll likely reach the 60s Fri-Sun. 😎

10-DAY: Typical late March rises and falls for Toledo. Highlights: * Rain/freezing drizzle Thu AM (slow PM clearing) * 60s for first 2 days of spring * Stalling Sun front = 50s Toledo, 60s south * Climb from 40s to 60s next week #Toledo #weather

PREDICTOR: Light rain could switch briefly to freezing drizzle in some areas near the OH/MI state line early Thursday AM. Lows will barely get below the freezing mark, with afternoon highs making a run at 50°. #Ohio #Michigan #weather

Gray (parent company) is switching from Zeam to Audience for those photo/video submissions... needs a 6-digit code for email verification when you DO send them. Annoying extra step; hope we still get a bunch of those great perspectives across our corner of the Midwest. www.13abc.com/community/us...

Mesmerized at the folding & unfolding here... thanks to @merihanalhafnawi.bsky.social at @princeton.edu for sharing her work with us! #science #robotics

Chris Palka down in Carey (Wyandot Co.) sent us his rooftop view of Tuesday morning's meteor streaking across the northern Ohio sky! Current estimates clock the space rock at 40,000+ mph entering Earth's atmosphere, with pieces likely scattered across Medina County. #Ohio #meteor #space

OHIO: Tornado drill time (9:50am Wed)! How are the storm sirens sounding where you are, if your community has them? 📢🌪️

My thanks to @erinstroud.bsky.social at @uni-of-warwick.bsky.social for her expertise here. "Nature's fireworks" on a whole new level! #science

10-DAY: Up and down the temperature roller coaster we ride. Highlights: * Light snow Wed (up to 0.5" Toledo, up to 1" west) * Rain showers return Thu (<0.25"), few more Friday * Warming to 60s Fri/Sat; falling temps Sun (rain to wet flakes) #Toledo #weather

REMINDER: It's Severe Weather Awareness Week in OH/MI. Ohio's annual tornado drill will happen at 9:50am, with storm sirens sounding (where available) for 3 minutes. Michigan's turn will come in the early afternoon at 1pm. #Ohio #Michigan #tornado

Sunday's warmth seems like a distant memory today... though we'll be back near 60° by the first day of spring Friday. #Toledo #weather

10am Tue: They may be few, but those snow bursts are MIGHTY today. Again, plan for these off-and-on snow showers throughout the day (and another small clipper Wednesday). Parts of Findlay already got 2"+ overnight from Lake Michigan lake effect alone! #Toledo #snow

Viewers out in our eastern counties: Did you happen to hear this one just after 9am?

A snapshot of the rest of the week's weather in Toledo. 👇

10-DAY: Warmer spring temps will return soon, but we're in for our coldest St. Patrick's Day since 1984 in Toledo. Highlights: * Sct. snow showers Tue/Wed (1-2" west thru Wed AM, closer to 0.5" Toledo) * Near-60° for first day of spring (equinox @ 10:46am Fri) #Toledo #weather

Mixing shamrocks and snowflakes! It'll be the coldest St. Patrick's Day in Toledo since 1984, with a WNW breeze ushering in more scattered snow showers (dusting to 0.5"). #Toledo #StPatricksDay

Friday's wind was wicked in its own right, but Mother Nature's encore performance has proven impressive as well. Here were some of the peak observed gusts since noon Sunday across NW Ohio/SE Michigan. #Ohio #Michigan #wind

RADAR: Scattered snow showers will continue from the west through Wednesday, though Michigan's incredible snow event is just starting to subside -- 3' in some UP areas, with 3"/hr rates! Meanwhile, tornado/flood watches are lining much of the Eastern Seaboard this late Monday afternoon.

It's another #seiche on western Lake Erie! Leanna Neshkoff snapped this from South Shore Veterans Park in Oregon, with strong SW winds helping to lower water levels a good 4 feet since Sunday afternoon. Watch for levels to return to normal as that wind becomes northwesterly tonight. #Ohio #wind

12pm Mon: Our Sylvania Flower Hospital Action Cam is really showing the flakes flying as we roll into the early afternoon! Scattered snow showers will be buffeted by those 50+ mph gusts (SW to NW) through the rest of your Monday in NW Ohio/SE Michigan.

Dana Fenimore's new 21' x 14' shed was no match for Friday's 70+ mph gusts in Findlay. While our early-week wind won't be as strong, watch for 50 mph gusts (pivoting from south to west) through Mon Mar 16. #Ohio #wind #damage

Severe thunderstorm watch for our western counties through 2am Mon. Damaging straight-line winds are the main hazard; can't rule out large hail or a brief spin-up along the line as it treks east. ⛈️ #Ohio #Michigan #storm

Friday's wind managed to topple most of this small brick wall... location not given by the photographer ("T"), though I feel like I've driven by those apartments in Toledo before? Watch for more 45-50 mph gusts through Monday (Mar 16).

As we start a new wind event in the Midwest, we're still getting photos/videos sent in from Friday's. @13abc.com viewer Tayler Thomas had his security cam catch this tree falling in the wind. #Ohio #wind #damage

...I didn't know trees could even DO trust falls. Alysha Baney sent us this Friday wind damage pic from in front of her house in Fostoria. #Ohio #wind

That wind did NOT let up all day Friday... 60-70+ mph gusts in quite a few of our counties. 💨 #Ohio #Michigan #wind

13abc viewer Charlie described this as a "close call" out in Rossford today... VERY close. 😬 #Ohio #wind

10-DAY: No big changes to Toledo's forecast, but plenty of change in the weather itself! Highlights: * More 45+ mph gusts (S to W) Sun night thru Mon; overnight strong storms possible * Coldest St. Patrick's Day since 1984; sticking snow possible (<1") * Return to 60s in time for spring equinox

Yikes... similar stories of toppled tractor-trailers across the Midwest today, though having it happen on a high bridge is another matter. #Toledo #Ohio #wind

Today's wind has lowered Lake Erie's (and the Maumee River's) levels, hour by hour, as direction has shifted from south to west.

An anonymous viewer provided this photo of tree/window damage to this office building (3400 Executive Parkway in Toledo), resulting from Friday's high winds. #Toledo #Ohio #wind

Jim Clark provided this photo of a tree fallen on a parked car in a driveway along Adelaide Ave (near Alexis & Secor). #Toledo #Ohio #wind

Emily Morman sent us this video of the dust and dirt being kicked up in Putnam County this Friday afternoon! A blowing dust advisory continues in most of our western counties through 8pm. Winds will very slowly start subsiding after sunset. #Ohio #wind #dust

2pm Fri: Winds are getting up to 70 mph in parts of northwest Ohio! Findlay is on the mark this mid-Friday afternoon, with Toledo Executive Airport not far behind at 69 mph earlier. NWS Northern Indiana has issued a blowing dust advisory through 8pm for most of our OH counties west of I-75.
