10-DAY: Not a record, but still a mild/breezy start to the weekend in Toledo. We'll go from SW to NW wind by Sunday, as temps drop and remain in the 40s through at least the midweek. Tuesday may carry a few wet flakes, with a more substantial system trying to get its act together by next Friday.

Are you heading downtown tomorrow for The Blade Holiday Parade? While it'll be a mild one this year, a southwest wind will ramp up during the festivities. 💨🎄

Circling the world over the last couple of nights, the aurora borealis put on quite a spectacular show in the sky of the northern hemisphere.

A little southeast of our viewing area, but Christopher Wendell sent us an impressive aurora shot from Dalton (Wayne County, OH), complete with those vertical pillars.

I'll admit, I was getting a little concerned by 9pm Wednesday night that we wouldn't get a good repeat performance in the sky... but that aurora certainly delivered again after all!

BURD!
A "tail" as old as time? Just a little play on words for you on the Thursday afternoon.
This bird is just hanging out in the breeze on this sunny day. Picture is from our ProMedica Flower Hospital Sylvania Action Cam.

Another shot from Oregon, Ohio, during Tuesday night's aurora... clouds took a while to clear along/east of I-75, though Mother Nature still put on quite a show late in the evening.

A very involved and fascinating area of study... my thanks to Drs. Tirrell and Agrawal at @uchicagopme.bsky.social for their expertise here.

Shades of amaranth arced across the sky back on Tuesday evening. Tonight's display has mostly been a faint green low on the horizon, but still visible with clear skies across the region.

Distinct vertical pillars from Tuesday evening's display over Lake Erie. (I can't emphasize enough how many wallpaper-worthy shots viewers have been sending in the last 36 hours.)

While we haven't seen anything as spectacular as Tuesday night's aurora yet, some NW Ohio/SE Michigan residents have seen a faint green glow starting on the horizon.
