We are grown adults and if we want Thanksgiving food in August, then we can have Thanksgiving food in August.

1 p.m. Sunday - Radar shows winds of 50-60 mph a few hundred feet off the ground from downtown Columbus into the south side, moving east at 50 mph. #ohwx #ohioweather #columbusohio
More water rescues early Sunday in Perry County, just days after going through major flooding that included water rescues and one death: www.10tv.com/article/news...

This is the 10th straight day of measurable rain in Columbus (numbers are through 10 a.m. Sunday, recorded at John Glenn International). This the longest streak since February 2020 and a tie for the most in August, set in 1882. #ohwx #ohioweather #columbusohio
The lawn needs to be mowed. I'm tired after a long week and really want to just veg this evening. But what I want *more* is to not have to mow this weekend. Future Justin will be pleased by the sacrifice made by Current Justin.
Two outlooks for Saturday evening-Saturday night, as of Friday PM: 1) Severe weather outlook. Yellow is a level 2-out-of-5 risk of severe storms. Main threat is gusty winds, secondary threat is a couple of tornadoes. #ohioweather #ohwx (1/2)
A couple of Flash Flood Warnings are in place Friday morning in southeastern Ohio. While the heavy rain has ended, pockets of flooding can take a couple of hours to go back down. Do not drive through flood water. #ohioweather #ohwx
Estimated rainfall map from 3 a.m. to 6 a.m. Friday ... dark green is about an inch or more. Thankfully, those pockets of heavy rain have been fairly localized, but anywhere that gets over an inch could have at least nuisance flooding in the usual trouble spots. #ohwx #ohioweather #columbusohio
📡 Radar check a little before 5 a.m. - Soaking rain and a few thunderstorms are working southeast across Ohio. Plan on a wet and slower drive this morning and watch for ponding on the road. Localized flooding is possible, mainly in the usual trouble spots. Latest radar: www.10tv.com/radar #ohwx
It's ENSO-forecast day at NOAA — the perfect day for an ENSO announcement of our own. Starting next week, we're taking baby steps toward rebooting the ENSO Blog, which ran on Climate(.)gov from 2014–2025. 🌎️🧪 [1/4]
We've had six days in a row with rain. John Glenn International has picked up about three-and-a-half inches of rain this month, which is more than two inches above average through August 12. Of course, some of you have had quite a bit more than this... it's been a soggy month. #ohioweather #ohwx
Fog has increased quite a bit as we approach 7 a.m. Here are the visibility numbers, in miles... several spots are under a quarter-mile. Keep the headlights on and be ready for quick changes in visibility through mid-morning Thursday.
We have some fog Thursday morning, but most of today is quiet. Areas of rain return tomorrow morning and could be locally heavy. #ohioweather #ohwx #columbusohio
Thursday's off to a foggy start across much of central Ohio. Half-mile visibility or less has been common during the 4 a.m. hour, and I expect at least some of this to continue through the morning drive. Watch for fast changes in how far you're able to see. #ohioweather #ohwx
We'll have areas of rain and storms this afternoon into the early evening. However, it looks like the severe weather threat will be mainly to our west. Localized downpours will still be possible, though. #ohwx
FYI: The National Weather Service doesn't expect to have damage survey plans until mid-morning today at the earliest. They cover a large area and there's still active weather for them to deal with. It'll likely take a few days for them to hit all the areas they intend to check. #ohwx
Not that posting here right now is a productive solution, but geez I wish I could tell my brain to just quiet down. Full day of severe weather coverage and I'm having constant thoughts now that my mind has the opportunity to be idle.
After the first round of #SevereWeather in #CentralOhio, I went out with Drone 10 to survey some of the damage. From warehouses in #Columbus, to houses in #UpperArlington, we got hit hard and the clean up is just beginning. #10TV #10WeatherImpact #OHwx www.facebook.com/share/r/1Jff...

Severe Thunderstorm Watch runs until 2 a.m. Tuesday. Scattered storms in northern Indiana are gradually heading east/southeast. #ohwx
Severe Thunderstorm Watch has been expanded and runs until 8 p.m. Scattered thunderstorms have redeveloped northwest of Columbus mid-afternoon. Latest radar: www.10tv.com/radar #ohwx
A Severe T'Storm Watch is in place for parts of eastern Ohio into Pennsylvania until 3 p.m. In our area, that includes Coshocton, Guernsey, and Muskingum Counties. That's for one batch of storms headed east. Another batch of storms is diving out of northwestern Ohio. #ohwx
9 a.m. Monday radar check - a little storm has popped on the northwest side of the Columbus metro and is heading east. It's producing lightning and a brief downpour. It should hug near to just inside the northern Outerbelt. #ohwx
It's a bird, it's a plane, it's a... wait, no, it *is* birds. 🐦 See those circles radiating out on radar? Those are called "roost rings" - birds are taking flight this morning, and as they get higher, the big flocks appear as circles. #ohioweather #ohwx
Central Ohio is in a level 2/5 risk of severe storms both today and tomorrow. Complicated forecast because each round of storms will affect what the next one does, but it seems our best chances are this evening, overnight/early tomorrow, and later tomorrow. Gusty winds, heavy rain in play. #ohwx
We moved to Columbus five years ago today. A lot has happened in those five years... including a return to local media, which was 100% *not* on my bingo card. 😆
Story time! Six years ago, my first book, The End of Everything (Astrophysically Speaking), came out. It was fun to write! I got to share all my cosmology fun facts and dig deep into all the ways the universe might end. I had SO much fun with it, I thought, "maybe I should write another book?" 1/?
The everything-protein situation was already completely bonkers to the point that I didn't think it could get any stupider... ... and then I just saw this. I'm sorry, protein SEASONING? I can't even.
August starts tomorrow! Can you believe it? Our average temperature drops by a few degrees over the course of the month. I think the biggest change you'll notice is that central Ohio loses a bit over an hour of daylight. #ohioweather #ohwx #columbusohio
As of Friday morning, the Storm Prediction Center's severe weather outlook for Saturday afternoon and evening brings a level 1 out of 5 risk into southwestern Ohio. While the potential is low, isn't not zero, so be mindful of that if you're going to be out toward the Dayton or Cincinnati area. #ohwx
Dry today, pretty typical stuff for the last day of July. We're highlighting tomorrow PM because there are soooo many outdoor events that will have a lot of people at them. I do not expect a wall of rain 😆 but there'll be spotty rain and a few thunderstorms around, so be ready to adjust plans. #ohwx
