CANTON, Ohio (News Talk 1480 WHBC) – At the midpoint of Meteorological Summer, what does the rest of the season look like?
Temperatures at the Akron Canton Airport weather station were 4.4 degrees below normal for the month of June.
But AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Bob Larson doesn’t see that continuing the rest of the way.
Bob believes his pre-Summer long-term forecast still holds, with above-normal temperatures.
Still, any extended heatwave is more likely out West and perhaps in the Midwest, but staying west of us.
And that has been the case in the western U.S., with an exduring heatwave.
