In honor of the new Toy Story movie, the clouds on our Meadville camera reminded me of those classic Toy Story clouds! ☁️🤠
Today is the pick of the week, so I encourage you to get outside and enjoy the evening if you can. Whether it's a walk, UPMC Park for the SeaWolves, Presque Isle Beach 1 for the concert tonight, or dinner on the patio, conditions will be hard to top!
Be sure to stay alert tomorrow, as showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop. Some storms could become strong to severe, so we'll be keeping a close eye on the forecast and bringing you the latest updates.

Summer redemption!☀️ We're in for a much-needed warm-up to wrap up June and head into Independence Day! After a cooler, cloudier start to summer, there's a good chance we'll see well-above-average temperatures next week. A much better way to finally kick off the summer season! Lots of great beach and pool days are in our near future!
We always get into some interesting topics/debates especially on a Friday 😆 Are you team ranch or blue cheese?
Happy first full day of summer! ☀️
Look... I absolutely love answering your weather questions in my inbox. But I have one small request, can we hold off on the winter questions for just a few days? 😂 I'm starting to wonder if this was Mount Pleasant of Edinboro undercover... 🤔❄️
Let's enjoy the sunshine, warmer temperatures, and long summer days first. I promise there will be plenty of time to talk lake-effect snow later!

Patchy fog will develop overnight and may reduce visibility to as low as a half mile for the Tuesday morning commute, so be sure to give yourself a little extra time if you're heading out early.
Once the fog lifts, clouds will linger through the morning before skies gradually clear during the afternoon.
The first full day of summer hasn't exactly felt like summer, with clouds, rain, and cooler temperatures. Don't worry, warmer weather, more sunshine, and more summer-like conditions are on the way later this week!

Happy Father's Day to all the amazing dads and father figures out there! 💙
My dad is the reason I fell in love with weather. A true weather nerd himself, he would always sit out on our back patio during thunderstorms. When I was little, I'd sit out there with him while he explained what was happening in the atmosphere to create the storms. Those conversations sparked my curiosity and ultimately led me to the career I have today!
I truly wouldn't be where I am without the love and support of both my dad and my mom. I'm so lucky to have a dad who's always been there for me, offering advice, making me laugh, cheering me on, and setting such a great example for me and my brothers.
My love for weather, Philly sports, and Notre Dame all came from him! I love you so so much Dad! Happy Father's Day! 💙⛈️🏈
