Batton down the hatches 💨 🍂 🌧️ 🥶 on the way!

💨 **STRONG WINDS ARE COMING… AND FRIDAY NIGHT IS GOING TO FEEL DOWNRIGHT COLD** 🌬️🥶

HOLD ONTO YOUR HATS! Mother Nature is about to crank up the wind machine, and she's bringing a serious temperature drop along for the ride!

Winds will begin picking up Friday morning, especially across northern areas, as a frontal boundary moves through. But that's just the beginning...

**HERE'S WHERE THINGS GET INTERESTING!**

As our low-pressure system moves past the region, two pieces of atmospheric energy will begin to merge, a process known as *phasing*. This will allow the storm system to rapidly strengthen, tightening the pressure gradient and causing winds to REALLY ramp up by Friday evening and overnight!

💨 **EXPECTED WIND SPEEDS:**
- Sustained winds: 15–25 MPH
- Widespread gusts: 30–40 MPH
- Lakeshore communities: 40–50 MPH gusts possible!

🥶 **AND HERE COMES THE REAL FUN...**

By Friday evening, temperatures will be TUMBLING into the 40s! Combine that with strong northerly winds blowing across Lake Erie, periods of lake-effect rain, and gusts approaching 40-50 MPH near the lakeshore...

Yeah... it's going to feel absolutely RAW outside! The kind of weather that makes you question why you ever complained about those 80-degree temperatures earlier this week. 😂 (I would never complain about the cold though)

Friday night is shaping up to be a **COLD, WINDY, AND WET** introduction to what October is capable of delivering!

Big 🌧️ on the way Sunday!

🚨 BIG UPDATES TO THIS WEEKEND'S HEAVY RAINFALL THREAT! 🌧️

Things are getting INTERESTING, and not necessarily in a good way if you have outdoor plans Sunday! 👀

The latest weather models are becoming increasingly consistent with a WESTWARD SHIFT in the heaviest rainfall axis, bringing the potential for **2"+ OF RAIN** farther west than previously anticipated!

Not only that, but model guidance continues to trend WETTER across much of our region as the system pulls an abundance of tropical moisture northward.

**SO, WHEN DOES THE RAIN ARRIVE?** ⏰

🌧️ **SATURDAY (9 PM–MIDNIGHT):** Rain begins spreading into southern portions of our region, including the Columbus area, before advancing north and northeast overnight.

🌧️ **SUNDAY (3 AM–6 AM):** Rain reaches much of Northern Ohio, with coverage and intensity increasing as the morning progresses.

🌧️ **SUNDAY MORNING (6 AM–NOON):** This could be one of the WETTEST periods of the entire weekend! Widespread moderate, steady rainfall is expected, with pockets of HEAVY rain capable of producing impressive rainfall rates.

🌧️ **SUNDAY AFTERNOON:** Areas WEST of Sandusky should begin seeing rainfall diminish around midday. However, areas EAST of Sandusky could continue dealing with periods of rain well into Sunday evening!

⚠️ **HERE'S WHAT HAS MY ATTENTION...**

The westward adjustment in the 2"+ rainfall zone is something I'm watching VERY closely. If these trends continue, locations that were previously expecting less rainfall could end up seeing considerably more.

And remember, when you're dealing with tropical moisture, localized heavier bands can develop and produce significantly higher rainfall totals over relatively short distances.

**THE BOTTOM LINE:** Sunday is shaping up to be a widespread SOAKER for much of Ohio, with the potential for localized flooding where the heaviest rainfall bands develop.

I'll continue monitoring the latest model trends and make adjustments as needed!

🌧️ ☔️ 💦 💧 🚿

🌧️ THIS WEEKEND IS ABOUT TO BE A SOAKER! 🌧️

Got weekend plans? 👀 Mother Nature may have other ideas. A widespread soaking rain event is shaping up for the region this weekend, and some areas could pick up quite a bit of rain. 💦

⚠️When:
Rain will begin pushing into Northwest Ohio by late Saturday morning or early afternoon, then gradually spread eastward. By Saturday evening and overnight, widespread rain should be ongoing across much of the region.

⚠️ THE BIG CONCERN: HEAVY RAIN

A frontal boundary is expected to remain nearly stationary while we have very high moisture levels in place. That could allow thunderstorms and heavier showers to repeatedly develop over the same areas.

That means some locations could see hours of training rain and storms leading to locally significant totals.

💧 RAINFALL POTENTIAL
• 2”+ possible in some areas
• 3”+ possible in the heavier-rain zones
• A few very isolated locations could potentially reach 4”+

Those higher-end totals will be highly dependent on exactly where the heaviest rain sets up, so not everyone will see these amounts.

🌡️ TEMPERATURES:
Expect a noticeably cooler weekend, with temperatures generally in the 60s and 70s across the region.

Plan for a wet, cooler weekend🌧️🥶

25 years ago today, I was sitting in my brother’s living room watching TV while going over names for a new entrepreneurial venture I was starting.

I landed on The Gutter Boys.

My sister-in-law didn’t like the name because, as she pointed out, I was a man—not a boy. But I thought it was catchy, so I stuck with it.

Moments later, everything changed.

We watched as our country was attacked on September 11, 2001.

It’s strange how certain moments become permanently etched into your memory. I’ll always remember where I was that morning, what I was doing, and the emotions that followed as we watched the events unfold.

Today marks 25 years since that terrible day—and, for me personally, 25 years since the very beginning of The Gutter Boys.

A lot has changed in those 25 years. But I will never forget that morning.

God bless the victims, their families, our first responders, and the United States of America.

Never Forget 🇺🇸
