It’s official — for the first time in 12 years, the U.S. has seen an EF5 tornado. The powerful storm struck near Enderlin, North Dakota, back on June 20, 2025, and after months of careful investigation, the National Weather Service officially upgraded it to EF5 status on October 6. The upgrade came after experts reviewed the extreme damage, including a tanker rail car thrown nearly 500 feet, train cars derailed, and homes completely swept from their foundations. Winds were estimated to have exceeded 210 miles per hour, leaving behind devastation that’s hard to even imagine. Sadly, three people lost their lives in this storm — a sobering reminder of just how destructive nature can be.

This tornado carved a path a little over 12 miles long and more than a mile wide, tearing through farmland, destroying buildings, and stripping trees down to bare bark.

Northern Ohio is set for a beautiful stretch of weather over the next 12 hours. The morning starts off cool and clear, with temperatures in the mid-60s, climbing quickly as the sun gets higher. By late morning and into the afternoon, the warmth really settles in, with sunshine dominating the sky and highs reaching well into the mid-80s. A light breeze will help keep the air comfortable, but it may feel a little warm during the peak of the day, so it’s a good idea to stay hydrated and take it easy if you’re outside for long. As the evening rolls in, the sun will ease down and temperatures will start to slip back into the 70s, eventually settling into the upper 60s overnight. Skies will remain clear, making it perfect for an evening walk, a late cookout, or even a little stargazing once things cool off.

Over the next 12 hours, Northern Ohio is expected to enjoy a stretch of pleasant early autumn weather. Skies will remain mostly sunny through the afternoon, with temperatures gradually rising from the mid-60s into the low to mid-80s by late afternoon. Humidity levels will stay moderate, making the warmth feel comfortable rather than oppressive. Winds will be light, generally from the northeast at 4 to 6 mph, contributing to the calm and stable conditions. As evening approaches, temperatures will begin to dip into the upper 60s and eventually settle into the low 60s overnight. Skies will remain clear, offering excellent visibility and a tranquil night. No precipitation is expected, and air quality will remain good throughout the period, making it an ideal day for outdoor activities across the region.

Northern Ohio is in for a beautiful stretch of weather over the next 12 hours. The morning starts off cool and bright, with temperatures in the mid-60s and plenty of sunshine. As the day moves along, the warmth builds, reaching the mid-80s by mid-afternoon with mostly sunny skies making it feel like a perfect early fall day. The late afternoon and early evening will stay warm and comfortable, slowly cooling into the 70s as the sun begins to set. By tonight, skies will stay clear and temperatures will slip into the low 60s, making for a calm and refreshing night. It’s the kind of day that’s perfect for getting outside, enjoying a walk, or relaxing on the porch as the sun goes down.

09/25/2025

Northern Ohio is in for a mixed bag of weather over the next 12 hours. Early this afternoon, expect some scattered showers, especially around 1 to 2 PM, so it’s a good idea to keep an umbrella handy if you’ll be out and about. By mid-afternoon, the rain should taper off, leaving us with mostly cloudy skies and temperatures climbing into the low- to mid-70s. As we move into the evening, clouds will start to break up, giving way to some clear spots and cooler, more comfortable air. Temperatures will gradually drop through the 60s to high 50s, making tonight feel crisp and pleasant. It’s shaping up to be a nice night to get outside once the rain clears.

09/23/2025

Over the next 12 hours in Northern Ohio, you can expect a bit of a shift in the weather. This afternoon will start off warm, with temperatures around 83°F, but things will gradually cool down into the mid-60s by late evening. Light rain showers are likely to move in and stick around through the evening, so it might be a good idea to keep an umbrella handy if you're heading out.

Humidity will steadily climb, making the air feel a bit heavier, especially as we move into the night. Winds will be gentle, shifting directions from the north-northwest to the east, and staying between 3 to 12 mph. Rainfall won’t be too intense, but it could add up to nearly half an inch by midnight.

As the night deepens into the early morning hours, expect fog to settle in along with continued drizzle. Temperatures will dip to around 58°F, and humidity will be near saturation—close to 98%. Winds will calm down even more, coming from the east-northeast at just a few miles per hour.

If you're planning to be out late or up early, it might feel damp and a little chilly, so layering up wouldn’t hurt.

As we move through the afternoon and into the evening across Ohio, expect a mix of sunshine and scattered clouds, with temperatures climbing into the upper 80s to low 90s in many areas. It’ll feel warm and a bit muggy, especially in southern and central parts of the state. But don’t let the sunshine fool you—storm chances will increase later today, particularly in the late afternoon and evening hours.

Several regions, especially around southwest Ohio (including Cincinnati and Dayton), are under a marginal risk for severe weather. That means a few thunderstorms could pack a punch with gusty winds, lightning, and brief downpours. Wind gusts statewide may reach up to 25 mph, with some isolated spots seeing gusts closer to 30 mph as storms roll through1.

The northern and eastern parts of Ohio (like Cleveland, Akron, and Youngstown) may stay drier for longer, but even there, spotty showers or storms could pop up as the evening progresses. If you’ve got outdoor plans—especially after lunch—it’s a good idea to keep an umbrella nearby and stay weather-aware.

Overall, it’s a warm, breezy day with a stormy twist later on. If you're traveling or working outdoors, just keep an eye on the sky and local alerts. And if you’re staying in, it might be the perfect evening for cozying up and listening to the rain.

09/21/2025

If you're in Northern Ohio today, you’ll definitely want to keep an eye on the sky. This afternoon looks fairly calm to start—partly cloudy with temps hovering around 77°F—but things will start to shift as we head into the evening. Scattered thunderstorms are expected to roll in, and some could be strong, especially in areas west of Cleveland like Lorain and Sandusky.

By early evening, the storms will become more widespread. You might hear some rumbles of thunder and see flashes of lightning, and there’s a decent chance of heavy rain and gusty winds. Hail is possible too, though the tornado risk is low. If you’re out and about, it’s a good idea to wrap things up before 9 PM.

Later tonight, the storms will begin to weaken, but they’ll still bring pockets of heavy rain and breezy conditions. Temps will dip to the mid-60s, and by early morning, things should start to settle down with just a few lingering showers and cooler air moving in.

If you’re working late or heading out early tomorrow, just be mindful of wet roads and leftover wind gusts.

09/21/2025

Northern Ohio is starting the day off on a nice note with mild temps in the low 70s and a mix of sun and clouds. It’s a great morning to get outside and enjoy some fresh air before things heat up. By midday, we’ll be climbing into the low 80s, feeling warm and a bit sticky. This afternoon, be ready for some changes — thunderstorms are likely to roll in, and a few could be on the stronger side, with highs reaching the mid-80s. After the storms, clouds will hang around into the evening, and there’s still a chance for more showers or storms before things finally calm down. Temps will slowly cool through the 70s tonight, making for a comfortable but cloudy end to the day. If you’ve got outdoor plans, try to get them done this morning or early afternoon, and keep an umbrella close by — it’s definitely one of those days where the weather could catch you off guard later.

Good morning! If you're heading out in Erie, Huron, or Sandusky County today, just a heads-up — there's a Dense Fog Advisory in effect until around 9 AM but it may linger. Visibility in some areas may drop to a quarter mile or less, so driving could be tricky. If you're commuting or helping guests navigate, it’s a good idea to take it slow, keep headlights on, and give yourself a little extra time.

Once the fog lifts, the day is looking beautiful across all three counties. Erie County will see sunny skies with highs in the upper 70s to low 80s, and tonight should be clear and cool in the upper 50s. Huron County is expecting similar weather — sunny and warm today, with a crisp evening in the mid-50s. Sandusky County will also enjoy sunshine and highs in the low 80s, though there’s a slight chance of showers tomorrow evening.

09/16/2025

Today in Northern Ohio, you're in for a beautiful stretch of weather. The morning starts off comfortably cool around 63°F, with mostly sunny skies and just a light breeze. As the sun climbs higher, temperatures will steadily rise into the low to mid-70s by noon, and the humidity will begin to drop, making it feel pleasantly crisp.

By early afternoon, expect full sunshine and highs reaching around 77°F. It’s the kind of day that invites you outside—perfect for a walk, lunch on the patio, or just soaking up some vitamin D. The skies will stay clear and dry, with virtually no chance of rain and a gentle northeast wind keeping things fresh.

As evening approaches, the warmth will linger a bit, with temperatures gradually dipping into the upper 60s. The sunset should be lovely under clear skies, and the air will feel calm and comfortable. It’s a great night to unwind outdoors or enjoy a peaceful drive.
