Enhanced risk continues into Wednesday across Ohio Valley

What the month did

May 2024 was the 16th-warmest May in the 132-year national record (1895–2026), at 62.2°F against a 1991–2020 normal of 61.0°F (+1.2°F).

NOAA/NCEI Climate at a Glance, contiguous United States. This is the observed record for the month, not a score of anything said in this piece — the forecast ledger begins 2026-08-17 and cannot reach earlier posts.

Ongoing severe weather in southern Michigan with tornadoes and large hail.

I’m in the middle of a major outdoor yard renovation, so a bit exhausted to write up too much commentary. Nevertheless, plenty of maps to follow. Another update in the morning on Wednesday.
