Tuesday Forecast
Overnight: cloudy, low in the upper 60s. Tuesday: partly cloudy and less humid, high in the upper 80s, wind north 6-12 m.p.h. Tuesday night: partly cloudy, low in the mid 60s. Wednesday: partly cloudy, slight chance of an isolated afternoon shower or thunderstorm, high in the upper 80s, wind variable 4-7 m.p.h.
Discussion
A surface high pressure system centered over Iowa will move slowly eastward during the next several days. Clockwise flow around the high will produce northerly winds which will bring slightly less humid air to Ohio on Tuesday. The center of the high will pass over the state on Wednesday and that cause the winds to be light. If the surface temperature warms enough on Wednesday afternoon, then the lower atmosphere could become unstable. If there is enough instability, isolated showers and thunderstorms could develop. An upper level low near the coast of Louisiana will move slowly northward. The upper low will reach the Ohio River Valley later this week and it will contribute to a greater chance of showers and thunderstorms on Thursday. **Eastern North Pacific Tropical Storm Frank** At 11:00 p.m. EDT on Monday the center of Tropical Storm Frank was located at latitude 20.8N and longitude 115.0W which put it about 360 miles west-southwest of the southern tip of Baja California. Frank was moving toward the west-northwest at 7 m.p.h. The maximum sustained wind speed was 50 m.p.h. and the minimum surface pressure was 1000 mb. **Eastern North Pacific Hurricane Georgette** At 11:00 p.m. EDT on Monday the center of Hurricane Georgette was located at latitude 18.2N and longitude 128.2W which put it about 1225 miles west-southwest of the southern tip of Baja California. Georgette was moving toward the northwest at 7 m.p.h. The maximum sustained wind speed was 100 m.p.h. and the minimum surface pressure was 976 mb.
