Hello Weather Friends.

A severe thunderstorm watch is in effect for Van Wert county in Ohio and Jay and Randolph in Indiana immediately to the west of Mercer county.

A long line of strong storms is currently moving from Illinois into Indiana. The primary severe threat, if it still exist when they reach our area, will be gusty winds and maybe another repeat moisture explosion

🔥 HOMEGROWN WEATHER: MOTHER NATURE IS FEELING SMOKING HOT 🔥

Apparently Mother Nature woke up today, looked in the mirror, and said, “You know what? Let’s be absolutely unnecessary.”

Because today is going to be SMOKING HOT.

Temperatures will climb into the 90s, but thanks to the humidity doing its best garbage bag in a hot car impression, heat index values could push near 100 degrees.

That means the air will feel less like “summer afternoon” and more like “inside of a moist crockpot with trust issues.”

🚨 LEVEL 5 SWAMP ASS & UNDERBOOB SWEAT ADVISORY 🚨
This is not a drill.
This is not a vibe.
This is moisture with malicious intent.

HomeGrown Translation:
Drink water. Find shade.
Check on the kids, pets, elderly neighbors, and that one guy who still thinks mowing at 2 p.m. builds character.

Limit outdoor activity during the hottest part of the day, take breaks, and don’t try to be a hero. The sun is currently undefeated.

Stay cool, stay hydrated, and may your deodorant be strong and your AC be stronger.

Good Evening Weather Friends.

Some random boom booms and rain will move through the area over the next hour or so. Frequent lightning and downpours are the impact items currently

Good Afternoon HomeGrown Weather Friends.

A severe thunderstorm watch has been issued until 10pm for the entire HomeGrown Coverage area. The sun got to come out for a bit and now storms are begging to form out to our west.

Any storms that develop this afternoon / evening and reach severe limits can contain large hail, damaging winds, and a small angelhair noodle situation can not be ruled out.

HomeGrown Weather: Saturdays are made for Sunshine (so what the heck is this) Edition

We’ve got a line of storms heading our way with a history of throwing a little attitude… gusty winds and some hail have already been reported with these.

These storms should arrive within the next 30 minutes, so now would be a fine time to secure the patio furniture, trash cans, inflatable flamingos, and whatever else Mother Nature might try to repossess.

Later today, we’ll keep the chance for additional strong to severe storms around. Main concerns will be:

🌬️ Gusty winds
🧊 Possible hail
🌧️ Heavy downpours
⚡ Thunder doing thunder things

HomeGrown Weather: Guess Who's Back Edition

Mother nature took the week off and decided to bring the gifts(chaos) for the weekend

Saturday is giving us a Level 2 out of 5 severe weather risk, which is Mother Nature’s way of saying:

“I might throw a few lawn chairs, but I haven’t committed to full chaos yet.”

The main window to watch looks to be:

Saturday: 4 PM through Midnight

Primary Threat:
Damaging winds

Secondary Threat:
Isolated large hail

No need to panic. No need to duct tape yourself to the porch.

But it is a good idea to:

Stay weather-aware Saturday afternoon and evening
Have multiple ways to get warnings
Keep phones charged
Secure the lightweight yard decorations before they become county-to-county travelers
Check back for updates as we get closer

As always, I’ll be watching it through the day like the unpaid storm gremlin I apparently signed up to be.

HomeGrown Translation:
Saturday evening could get spicy. Wind is the main concern. Hail is possible. Keep an eye on the sky and don’t ignore warnings.

🌞 HOMEGROWN WEATHER: MOTHER NATURE BROUGHT THE SNACKS EDITION

I don’t know who put this order in with Mother Nature, but apparently she looked at the menu and said:

“Yeah, go ahead and serve the nice stuff.”

And folks… she served the snacks.

We’re talking sunshine.
We’re talking mid 70s.
We’re talking “open the windows and pretend you have your life together” weather.

From now until forever…

Or next Wednesday.

Whichever comes first.

Either way, there’s not a whole lot to yell about in the weather department, which means you probably won’t see much from me for a few days.

And honestly?

There are worse things.

No Snow Wall.
No Sky Noodle drama.
No “secure your patio furniture because Ohio is trying to relocate it” advisory.

Just sunshine, comfy temps, and suspiciously peaceful skies.

Enjoy it.
Touch grass.
Open a window.
Let the laundry sit in the dryer like nature intended.

HomeGrown Weather: Enough is Enough Edition

Alright. I’m officially kinda over this “one nice day followed by 48 hours inside the Gray Rainzone” arrangement Mother Nature keeps handing us like it’s some kind of subscription service nobody asked for.

Yesterday? Beautiful. Hopeful. Vitamin D. Birds chirpin’. Windows down.
Today? Back to the regularly scheduled Ohio emotional damage package.

We’re looking at mid 70’s today with periods of rain, gloomy skies, and maybe a little thunder here and there just for dramatic effect. Nothing severe expected. No sky noodles. No flying trampolines. Just regular old wet sadness with occasional boom noises.

Honestly this weather pattern feels like Mother Nature opens the blinds for one day, says “psych,” then throws a wet blanket back over the entire state.

On the bright side, at least temperatures stay comfortable and we’re not dealing with 94 degrees and swamp humidity yet. Small victories, friends. Small victories.

Official HomeGrown Weather Advisory:
LEVEL 3 “I Guess I’ll Leave The Hoodie In The Truck” Advisory remains in effect.
