🌌 Aurora Update - Monday Night Outlook
Heads up, skywatchers! The chances of seeing the aurora tonight are looking decent across the region - especially right after sunset and continuing through the overnight hours. With the anticipation of the incoming solar storm, the Space Weather Prediction Center has issued a G3 (strong) geomagnetic storm watch.

☀️ What’s Happening?
Latest space weather data shows an increase in solar particles entering Earth’s magnetic field, which can trigger visible auroras even at lower latitudes.

⚠️ But a Quick Note…
This is no guarantee that we’ll be able to see the northern lights. A lot depends on the direction of the incoming particle flow. We need it to come from the south to have a good shot at visibility here. If it comes from the north, we might miss out.

🌤️ Good News on the Clouds
Cloud cover is not expected to pose any major viewing issues, meaning many areas should have clear enough skies to catch the show.

If you’ve been waiting for a good aurora night, this could be it. Have your cameras ready and keep an eye on the northern horizon! 📷✨

Breaking news: free car washes and lawn watering is finally happening across the area. It’s been so long, I almost forgot how to drive without sunglasses on.

BBC Dubai arrived in Erie around 2 PM today, carrying at least 48 Vestas wind turbine blades. The vessel departed Tuticorin, India, on July 3rd, charting a course south of Cape Town, South Africa, before crossing the Indian Ocean, the South Atlantic, the North Atlantic, and navigating part of the St. Lawrence Seaway to reach Erie. BBC Dubai was accompanied by Wyoming, a tugboat from Ashtabula, to aid in docking at the Carmeuse Dock.

🌻 The sunflowers at the Battles Estate Joint Cooperative Farm in Girard, PA are in bloom. The Hagen History Center and the The Wilds Sonshine Factory, Inc. have approximately 1.2 million sunflowers across about 38 acres. The Wilds Sonshine Factory will distill the sunflower seeds once they are harvested later this year.

🌪️ There is an increased potential for waterspout development tomorrow across the southern portion of Lake Erie. Forecast models are indicating 850 mb temperatures around 50°F, while lake surface temperatures remain near 79°F. This 29-degree temperature differential between the warm lake surface and the cooler air aloft is a key ingredient for waterspout formation.

Additionally, modeling suggests a land breeze will develop overnight, with a warm southerly flow extending out over the lake. Land breezes can help create converging winds near the shoreline (where land breezes meet lake breeze). This convergence can encourage spin or vorticity in the lower atmosphere, and if the lake is warm and the atmosphere above is cool and unstable, the rising air can help form non-supercell waterspouts. This setup will most likely occur along the southern nearshore waters, enhancing the risk for waterspouts.

Composite reflectivity guidance highlights this land breeze boundary, though its exact position may shift depending on local wind direction and intensity. Regardless, boaters should remain vigilant as a Small Craft Advisory is also in effect.

🌊 Wow! Take a look at this graph from the Walnut Creek Buoy, located about 5 miles offshore. At one point, maximum wave heights briefly reached nearly 11 feet. A Small Craft Advisory remains in effect through 10 PM tomorrow, with wave heights of 5 to 9 feet still possible.

Finally, a break from the heat! A stretch of slightly cooler-than-average temperatures is on the horizon. Forecast models suggest that from late next week into the following week, highs may settle in the mid-70s with a noticeable drop in humidity.

The outlook below, issued by the Climate Prediction Center, highlights the upcoming period of the potential for below-average temperatures.
