Thursday’s temperatures were warmer than predicted in the Findlay area, and Friday’s forecast is more moderate, too.
Earlier in the week, the National Weather Service had predicted a Findlay high of 7 degrees on Thursday and a low of minus 6. The actual high was 15, according to measurements taken at the Findlay Airport, and the expected low was revised to minus 1 by the weather service, with wind chill values as low as minus 13.
Friday’s forecast now calls for a high near 8 degrees, with wind chills as low as minus 14, and a nighttime low of minus 2, with wind chills of minus 12, according to the weather service.
Earlier in the week, a Friday low of minus 10 was being predicted.
WTOL meteorologist Robert Shiels is still predicting a Friday night low of minus 8.
Cold weather will continue through Saturday, forecasters say, with a predicted high of 8 degrees and a low of 3, according to Shiels, or a low of minus 3, according to the weather service.
A warmup is expected Sunday, the forecasters agree. That day’s high is expected to be 28 to 30, with a low of 25 to 28.
Highs from Monday through Thursday are predicted to be in the 30s.
