The reliable Perseid meteor shower will arrive next month. Mark your calendar now. I'll explore this topic in greater detail next month. Let's also talk about the active sun and a new sunspot cluster about to come into view... along with the physics of smoke particles aloft from distant forest fires in today's episode of WeatherJazz®.

The notable, accrued rainfall deficit for Cleveland was essentially wiped out in just 12 days. Let's examine where we stand in comparison to the rest of the USA.

John and Sandy Halvorsen are on a journey.... a VERY LONG journey ON FOOT! They are walking across America from Miami to Seattle. The journey began in February. This week, they were making their way across Kansas. So WHY are they doing this?

I was able to catch up with the Halvorsens thanks to a Zoom meeting while they were resting last Sunday.

I have an update on Ohio's first Piping Plover nesting pair in Ohio in 83 years... and it's excellent news for bird watchers! Plus, I just finished reading a book called A Bird Way by Jennifer Ackerman. It was a book I had on my nightstand as a great book to read before going to sleep. I give you a detailed review and a list of the chapters just in case you would like to pick it up for your next book.

What do you do when you play host to a newly degreed Master of Worship Arts from Liberty University? Naturally, you rope them into an interview for WeatherJazz®! You may be surprised at how weather affects the music world! My guest is Daniel Gray.

Let's get to know the story of another one of our amazing meteorologists, A. J. Colby. Many people are unaware that I knew A. J. when he was a middle school student in the Kingsville-Conneaut area of extreme northeast Ohio. FOX 8 is so fortunate to have him as our Monday-Friday 10 PM meteorologist!

Today's Science Wednesday Topics include Supernumerary Rainbows and Sunspots.

Summer roared into the Pacific Northwest in a very grand fashion. I'll tell you about some new all-time records established over the weekend. But now as the workweek steps off, it's the other coast looking to set records. But when will Cleveland hit 90°F for the first time? That could be TODAY.
