10-DAY: A slow rise in humidity will get some scattered showers going Wednesday night into Thursday, and some rumbles of thunder (mainly southeast) Friday. Only a few spots of rain will linger into Saturday, with a warmer time in Toledo near 90° by Monday. #Toledo #weather

Meet the family! Rick Parrish found these deer enjoying a fine Tuesday morning at Side Cut. #Ohio #deer #nature

Oddly mesmerizing... "layers of life" is how Candy Sanders described looking into this tree limb that split and fell in their Napoleon yard a couple weeks ago. (Did my hungry brain think those cellulose fibers of wood were actually pulled chicken at first? No comment.) #Ohio #nature

10-DAY: Highs are rising to the mid-80s for the next few days -- and humidity will follow suit, with enough moisture by Thursday/Fridayhelping to touch off scattered thundershowers. A few showers will carry into Saturday, with temps in the upper-80s by Sunday/Monday. #Toledo #weather

A picture-perfect sunset over Put-in-Bay! James Click snapped this looking out over the harbor Sunday evening. 🌅 #Ohio #LakeErie #sunset

RAIN CHANCES: No rain squeezed out of what few clouds will develop over NW Ohio through the midweek, then scattered thundershowers will return Thursday/Friday (maxing out at a 40% chance for now). Just a couple of showers will linger into the second weekend of August. #Toledo #rain

Calm, cool, and collected tonight... no chance of rain until Thursday. #Toledo #weather

Tony Everhardt got a cool close-up shot of this praying mantis in Walbridge. There are 3 mantid species in Ohio: one native (Carolina mantid) and 2 introduced in the late-1800s (European/Chinese mantid). Any entomologists want to weigh in on which this would be? #Ohio #insect #nature

⏩ TIMELAPSE: Just watching the clouds go by... here's 12 hours of Sunday sky over Toledo, wrapped up in one minute. #Toledo #rain #timelapse

10-DAY: It's a dry early week in the low-80s across the board, under mostly to partly sunny skies. A few showers could sneak in from the southeast Wednesday, with scattered storm chances building for Thursday/Friday. We’ll make another run at highs near 90° by next Sunday. #Toledo #weather

Anyone else see this north of Fremont this morning? While the wind shear wasn't favorable for tornadoes, thin "landspouts" can sometimes descend from the cloud in the kind of environment we experienced Sunday (especially with an extra kick of wind off the lake). 📸: Jonas Hinderer #Ohio #weather

"Missed again!" "You're wrong all the time!" Some of *last night's* Facebook comments from Toledoans felt like leaving a Walleye game when they're only down a goal at first intermission... there's a reason we said "through Sunday AM" for the more intense bands of showers. #Ohio #Michigan #rain

It took a bit to really get going in some spots, but we now have multiple flood advisories in NW Ohio/SE Michigan. Rain will slowly wrap up through the afternoon and clear east. #Ohio #Michigan #flood

RADAR (11pm Sat): Showers with some rumbles of thunder continue to surge up from the south. Off-and-on downpours will be the order of the night, lasting through Sunday AM (from the northeast by then) before slowly clearing east. #Ohio #Michigan #rain

10-DAY: Heavy thundershowers will come in waves tonight into Sunday AM. Watch for ponding water on roadways, and check your sump pumps before heading to bed. That rain will slowly clear through Sunday PM, and return with scattered storms by Thursday as temps slowly warm. #Toledo #weather

A moody weekend view from Wood County, with Phil Posavad snapping these asperitas clouds streaming over Haskins. #Ohio #clouds #weather

We interrupt your timeline to bring you BEEEEES! William Renz Jr. found hundreds of honeybees gathering on a tree branch in Oak Harbor this week. 🐝 #Ohio #bee #nature

Azaleigha Connin shared this serene sunset scene from one of Fostoria's six reservoirs earlier this week. 🌅 #Ohio #sunset #nature

10-DAY: Dry for most Saturday AM, then rain chances ramp up through the PM hours (peaking into Sunday AM). 0.5″ rainfall for many; 1-2″+ pockets possible with downpours training over certain areas for hours at a time, especially Sunday being on the north side of the low. #Toledo #weather

💧 PREDICTOR: The first real surge of weekend rain isn't expected for most of us until midday Saturday, slowly building into off-and-on downpours (and some rumbles of thunder) through Sunday. #Ohio #Michigan #rain

"You gonna finish that?" Rebecca Tansel found this beetle (likely a dogbane leaf beetle) munching on a leaf at Toledo Botanical Garden. 🪲 #Ohio #beetle #insect

WET WEEKEND: Rain chances will rise through Saturday across NW Ohio/SE Michigan, peaking with downpours/thunder by Sunday AM. Most of us will end up close to 0.5", though there will certainly be some pockets of 1-2"+ as showers train over a given area for hours at a time. #Toledo #weather

Sam Riegsecker snapped this smoky sunset over the soybeans out in Delta earlier this month. That sun will be much harder to come by (but not impossible) between rounds of scattered showers this weekend. #Ohio #sunset #nature

Hey, Toledoans... Scott's a great local follow for some nice Metroparks shots on your timeline!

Female mallards with ducklings on the Maumee River at Farnsworth and Side Cut Metroparks Wednesday evening.

10-DAY: Saturday will see a deepening low skirt us to the southwest, as rain chances slowly build through the day and continue into Sunday. Current weekend call: up to 0.5" near OH/MI state line, 1"+ pockets south. #Toledo #weather

Lori Harp found this dragonfly on one of her plants while watering the garden in Tiffin. 164 dragonfly/damselfly species have been recorded in the state of Ohio (source: ODNR). #Ohio #dragonfly #nature

William Kudzia sent us their lovely view of downtown Toledo at dusk, from International Park across the river. 🌆 #Toledo #sunset

10-DAY: A pretty typical late week for late July, with rain returning to lead off August. Highlights: * Light to moderate rain showers Saturday, especially in the afternoon; higher totals south * Few lingering showers Sun/Mon; temps climbing back near 90° by next midweek #Toledo #weather

Jan Farmer got into a staredown with some Wildwood wildlife today! This buck ought to start shedding the velvet from its antlers late next month. #Ohio #deer #nature

Clearing skies and continued dry air will allow for more lows tonight near 60° (a bit warmer Thursday afternoon in the mid-80s). #Toledo #weather
