.SHORT TERM (TONIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY)...

WARM TO HOT AND SOMEWHAT HUMID MID SUMMER WEATHER IS EXPECTED TO
DEVELOP OR OVERSPREAD THE AREA INTO THE WEEKEND.

A VERY DIFFUSE WEAK COLD FRONT HAS SETTLED SOUTH TO SOUTHERN OHIO
THIS AFTERNOON WITH DEEP TROPICAL MOISTURE WITH IT. SLIGHTLY LESS
HUMID AIR WITH DEWPOINTS IN THE MID 60S HAS MOVED TO THE SOUTH SHORE
OF LAKE ERIE AS WEAK HIGH PRESSURE BUILDS OVER EASTERN LOWER
MICHIGAN.

EXPECT A TRANQUIL NIGHT WITH PATCHY FOG DEVELOPING AFTER MIDNIGHT
ESPECIALLY IN LOW LYING AREAS THAT RECIEVED HEAVY RAIN RECENTLY.

THE WEATHER OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS WILL GRADUALLY WARM TO ABOVE
NORMAL READINGS AT WARMER AIR SPEADS INTO THE REGION FROM THE WEST.
THERE IS SOME CHANCE FOR SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS FRIDAY AFTERNOON
AND INTO SATURDAY BUT THE FOCUS/TRIGGER FOR PRECIPITATION IS NOT
WELL DEFINE AS BOTH THE GFS AND NAM WRF APPEAR TO BE SUFFERING FROM
CONVECTIVE FEEDBACK FROM A CONVECTIVE COMPLEX THAT IS EXPECTED
DEVELOP OVER IOWA THIS EVENING AND MOVE EAST INTO OHIO BY SAT
MORNING. PERHAPS A MCV THAT IS A MESOSCALE CONVECTIVE VORTICITY
MIGHT BE PRODUCED FROM THIS FEATURE OVERNIGHT ACROSS ILLINOIS BUT IT
IS UNLIKELY THAT IT WILL PERSIST LONG ENOUGH TO REACH OHIO.
CONSEQUENTLY, POPS WILL BE LOWER FROM THE GFS GUIDANCE FRI INTO SAT
NGT ESPECIALLY OVER THE WESTERN HALF OF THE AREA.  IN ANY CASE
WARMER AIR IS EXPECTED TO OVERSPREAD THE REGION AS 850 MB
TEMPERATURES RISE TO 21-24C BY 00 UTC MONDAY. THAT SHOULD ALLOW
TEMPERATURES TO RISE INTO THE 90S OVER MOST OF THE AREA FOR THE
FIRST TIME THIS SUMMER IN MOST PLACES.

&&

.LONG TERM (MONDAY THROUGH THURSDAY)...

WARM TO HOT HUMID CONDITIONS WILL GENERALLY PERSIST THROUGH THIS
PERIOD AS RIDGING ALOFT BUILDS FROM THE WESTERN STATES TOWARD THE
CAROLINAS. THE AREA IS ON THE SOUTHERN EDGE OF THE WESTERLIES AND
WITH A HIGH CAPE ENVIRONMENT IN PLACE AND APPROACH OF WEAK COLD
FRONT FROM THE NORTH TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY THERE IS SOME CHANCE OF
THUNDERSTORMS. THE GFS AND ECMWF APPEAR TO BE SOMEWHAT SIMILIAR
DURING THE PERIOD.

&&

.AVIATION(18Z-18Z)...
CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE TO IMPROVE THIS AFTERNOON.  DRIER AIR ALOFT
IS WORKING IN...WITH MVFR GOING VFR CEILINGS.  HIGH PRESSURE WILL BE
TO OUR NORTH TONIGHT PROVIDING CLEAR SKIES AND LIGHT WINDS.  LOW
LEVEL MOISTURE WILL BE AROUND...AND THEREFORE FOG WILL BE AN ISSUE
TONIGHT.  INTRODUCED FOG INTO THE TAFS FOR THE OVERNIGHT
PERIOD...MVFR WITH TEMPOS TO IFR.  IF IT DOES MATERIALIZE THEN CIGS
WILL GO DOWN WITH THE VSBY...AS THEY USUALLY GO HAND IN HAND.
TOMORROW AFTER THE FOG LIFTS SCT-BKN VFR CU FIELD.

Flood, Wyandot

When: July 13, 4:00 PM EST to July 15, 5:00 AM EST
Where: Wyandot County, 4 mi W of Upper Sandusky
Deaths: 1 direct, 0 indirect
Reported by: NEWSPAPER
Coordinates: 40.842, -83.304 (the zone’s center; the record gives no point)

Heavy rains on July 12th through the 14th caused Tymochtee Creek to go into flood in western Wyandot County. State Route 53 was flooded by up to 6 feet of water approximately four miles west of Upper Sandusky near the intersection of Township Road 103. A 46 male apparently drove his truck into the flood waters around 2 am on July 14th. The man was later found deceased about 200 feet north of the highway. His truck was found completely submerged in the flood waters.

The people who died

As the offices recorded each death: direct deaths were caused by the weather itself, indirect ones by something it set in motion.

Event	Date	Age	Sex	Where	Kind
Flood, Wyandot	2006-07-14	46	Male	Vehicle/Towed Trailer	Direct

What these are

Flood: Flooding that develops more slowly than a flash flood: rivers leaving their banks, or water standing over land for an extended time.

After NWS Directive 10-1605, the rules offices file Storm Data by.
