I received a great question on the WeatherJazz® Hotline from a listener in Medina, Ohio regarding weather modification and it’s potential usefulness in mitigating damage from tropical storms and hurricanes. In order to best understand weather modification efforts, it’s best to look back at attempts to do so in the last 50 years or so. […]
The two seasons with the highest degree (did you get the pun, there?) of interest in terms of the long-range, seasonal outlook is winter and summer. It makes perfect sense since these are the two extremes of the year. With June, July, and August (the meteorological summer of 2019) right around the corner, it’s time […]
Caribou, Maine continues to establish a new record with every new morning this April. The record? They have now experienced the longest continuous stretch of measuring at least one inch of snow. As of today (Good Friday), that stretch is 161 days. See how I placed the peak snow depth of 45″ into perspective: I […]

I made reference to my television forecast from tonight that we had the initial ingredients necessary for one of these sunsets. At first, it looked […]

I alsdo posed the same question to your favorite FOX 8 news anchors and reporters. The answers were wide and varied as well as the […]
The atmosphere sent March packing with a parting gift: a significant snowfall in NEOhio. March snowfalls aren’t all that unusual in Ohio. In fact, we’ve recently seen several inches of snow on Sunday, May 15, 2017 on the east side of Cleveland. But this weekend’s snowfall did fall into a category that raised more than […]
Until March, the sun has been largely quiet in 2019. We are in a solar minimum in its 7-year sunspot cycle. However, we’ve seen a couple of interesting sunspot clusters in the last few weeks.
