Red sky in the morning, sailors take warning! Red sky at night, sailors delight. The sky is reflecting red this morning as high pressure (nice weather) is departing and low pressure (the winter storm) is moving in!

Let’s nerd out! I did some digging with snowfall extent data across the northern hemisphere! What are the trends looking like so far this year compared to last? https://t.co/YyjB6oXjSE

RECORD SETTING HURRICANE Not only is Melissa the first Category 5 Hurricane to make landfall in Jamaica, it's now tied for the 3rd strongest Atlantic Hurricane in recorded history in terms of lowest pressure...

RAIN ON THE WAY I'm tracking the rain to our south to link up with moisture out to the west and will bring us a soaking rain in just over 24 hours to move in Wednesday evening! I'll be tracking who sees the most rain from this system and what it means for your Halloween plans

FROST AND FREEZE ALERTS Bundle up, buttercup! Thursday morning there could be patchy frost out there for areas southwest of Dayton and temperatures in the 30s. Friday morning is when we have the freeze watch which means the conditions are favorable for widespread frost...

DUAL CERTIFIED Some big news as I come back from a small vacation with the family! I've now also earned my National Weather Association Seal of Approval! The National Weather Association Weathercaster Seal of Approval program began in 1983 to promote quality weather broadcasting.

HAPPY WEEKEND The sunshine is out all week long as I'm tracking another stretch of high pressure. By the way, October 1st is on Wednesday! I am tracking a return to fall temperatures plus I'm watching a system in the tropics which may have some impacts on parts of the country.

TIED RECORD LOW Dayton made it down to 48 this morning! Those winds relaxed enough to drop most of us into the 40s early this morning! It is rare for Dayton to drop into the 40s in August too.. the last time we were at or below 48 in Dayton in August was back in 2013!

TRACKING SOME RAIN This cluster of heavy downpours almost looks to miss us this morning just to our west! Nothing severe around 5:30am but I'll keep watching this as it tracks to the southeast!

HAPPY SATURDAY A beautiful sunrise with some patchy fog out there this morning! It's once again going to be very hot and humid this weekend. I am tracking a small severe weather risk over the next 24 hours plus the latest track of Hurricane Erin all morning long on Newscenter 7

FULL MOON Wow was it bright this Saturday morning! It's the full Sturgeon Moon! Send me your pictures! Back here on Earth its hot and humid this weekend. The pool doesn't sound like a bad idea! I'm tracking an approaching cold front and how it impacts you on Newscenter 7 Saturday

BIG WAVE Did anyone notice me wave to Jake Magnotta in our boxes at the 6 o'clock hour this morning?! Haha! If you're looking for the summer forecast though we've got it the next several days!

7 CIRCLE OF KINDNESS Our School Supply Drive goes on TODAY from 10AM-6PM at the Miller Lane Walmart & Sugarcreek Walmart... There is a chance of only a scattered amount of storms this afternoon. So even though you may not see any rain, go out and donate earlier rather than later!

LOOKING LIKE FALL This what the sky will look like around 8pm over the next month or so! Even though its felt like fall the past few days, summer is not over! I'm breaking down a return to reality on Newscenter 7 Daybreak and at Noon!

HAPPY FALL I mean happy August! This morning was definitely one for the fall lovers though! Temperatures will slowly begin to creep up over this work week. I'll tell you why plus what day is the best chance for rain today on Newscenter 7 at Noon!

MORE HIGH HEAT A heat advisory is in effect until 8pm tonight for feels like temperatures over 100! We have a bit more high heat to get through but I'm tracking a super nice break from summer... how and when it impacts you on Newscenter 7 at Noon!

HAPPY SATURDAY It still feels like summer today with a few pop up storms after 2pm... they could come with some heavy downpours and some gusty winds... I'm tracking some big shift by the end of our forecast all morning long on Newscenter 7 Saturday!

CHECK THIS OUT The Waning Crescent Moon in the top left only about 2% illuminated this Wednesday morning (New Moon soon)! That little dot to the right of the moon is Jupiter! Break out the telescopes!!

THE GOOD NEWS As of 2:30pm Saturday, no storms to our west are severe! There is a flood advisory along with heavy downpours and frequent lightning though. Let's hope this trend stays below severe criteria... the window these storms are over us is about 4-9pm!

FOG TIMELAPSE Check this out over Downtown Dayton! Low clouds and fog are out there this early Saturday morning... I am tracking the possibility of severe storms this afternoon between about 4-9pm. I've got everything you need to know on Newscenter 7 all throughout the day today!
