Old Farmer's Almanac predicts a cool, dry fall in Ohio. NOAA says the opposite

Yahoo4 days ago
The Old Farmer's Almanac and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration don't agree on Ohio's fall forecast.
In fact, they are polar opposites.
In its 2025 fall outlook, the Old Farmer's Almanac predicts a cool, dry season for Ohio, with warmer conditions expected in the western half of the country.
"The cool temperatures and below-average rainfalls could translate to some pretty foliage in the Northeastern region," according to the almanac. "Look for scattered showers, brief warm spells, and overall chilly weather."
Meanwhile, seasonal outlooks from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration are forecasting warm and wet conditions for Ohio this fall, with considerable probabilities of above average temperatures and rainfall.
What does the Old Farmer's Almanac say about the fall season in Stark County?
Stark County will likely mirror the cool and dry conditions expected throughout the state, the Old Farmer's Almanac says.
Its 12-month temperature and precipitation outlook for the area predicts average temperatures and below average rainfall in September, followed by below average temperatures and rainfall in October.
What does the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration say about fall in Ohio?
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration temperature outlook forecasts most of the state with a 40% to 50% probability of above average temperatures from September through November.
A small swath of the state carries a lower probability, around 33% to 40%. It's also predicting a chance of more rain than usual in the area with the whole state carrying a 33% to 40% chance of above average precipitation.
When is the first day of fall?
This year, the first day of fall is Monday, Sept. 22.
What's the average fall temperature in the Akron-Canton region?
Here's what a typical fall season looks like in the region, according to the National Weather Service:
September: 65.4 degrees
October: 53.7 degrees
November: 42.5 degrees
December: 33.0 degrees

Expected excessive heat Friday prompts First Alert Weather Day. Check the forecast.

We're headed for a First Alert Weather Day Friday due to potentially extreme heat. Wednesday, we remain in a bit of a holding pattern, with high pressure still in control, but that's going to change quickly. The heat and humidity build Thursday into Friday, and some areas—especially parts of northeast New Jersey, New York City western Long Island, and the Lower Hudson Valley—could flirt with heat warning criteria by Friday afternoon. The National Weather Service already issued advisories and watches that go into effect Friday for parts of the Tri-State. An Extreme Heat Watch goes into effect at 10 a.m. Friday and lasts until 8 p.m. A Heat Advisory goes into effect at 11 a.m. and lasts until 8 p.m. Heat Advisories kick in any time the heat index of 95-99 degrees for two consecutive days, or 100-104 degrees for any length of time. An Excessive Heat Watch kicks in if there's a heat index of 105 degrees or more for two consecutive hours or greater. A cold front arrives Friday evening, bringing our next shot at strong to possibly severe storms, though there's still some uncertainty on storm strength. Saturday looks hot and humid again, but a bit less intense depending on cloud cover. Another front may bring showers or storms from late Sunday into Monday.

Risk of severe weather follows potentially record-setting heat around Boston on Friday

Another round of high heat, oppressive humidity and potentially severe storms is on the horizon in the Boston area, therefore, the WBZ Weather Team has highlighted Friday as a NEXT Weather Alert Day. The National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory for both Thursday and Friday. Sitting about halfway through meteorological summer, we have already equaled the number of 90-degree days from 2024 in Boston. We will be adding on to that total in the next couple of days. High temperatures on Thursday will reach the low 90s in most areas along and north of the Mass Pike. Dewpoints will be climbing into the 60s, making it feel a few degrees warmer. The heat and humidity will peak on Friday. Temperatures will reach into the mid and upper 90s, challenging some daily records. Dewpoints will top out near 70, adding 5-10 degrees to the "feels-like" temperature. During Friday afternoon and evening, a cold front will sweep through southern New England ushering in some cooler and drier air. Unfortunately, in order to get there, we will have to endure a round of thunderstorms, some of which could reach severe levels. The Storms Prediction Center has placed our entire area in a "marginal" risk for severe storms on Friday. This is a level 1 of 5 on their scale. There is a good chance they may adjust this in the next 24 hours and place parts of the area in a "slight" risk, or level 2. Highest risk for thunderstorms will be between 2-8 p.m. on Friday. Any storms that form may contain very heavy downpours, lightning, damaging wind gusts and small hail. If you have outdoor plans Friday afternoon and evening, we urge that you stay tuned to updated forecasts. After those storms pass, drier air flows in and we are in for another terrific Saturday! Sunday may bring another risk of showers or storms. More on that in the next few days.
