PREDICTOR: While the remnants of Hurricane Isaias won't deliver much rain across the board, some downpours will be embedded along/east of I-75 in that Sunday AM batch of scattered showers -- clearing for your evening plans.

As of 5pm Thursday, Hurrricane Isaias has jumped to Category 2 status (sustained winds 100 mph), as the storm pits warm Gulf waters against wind shear. While the remnant low will duck east of us in Toledo, we'll still feel the effects with scattered showers Sunday. #hurricane #Isaias #tropics

4pm Thu: A pleasant afternoon in the low-70s in Northwest Ohio, with that weak cold front cooling us off a good 10° or so from the midweek. Temps will spike to 80° again Saturday, then stay stuck in the 60s with those rainy tropical remnants Sunday.

#Isaias will pass over a deep reservoir of warm water on Friday morning... very high ocean heat content. That should offer an interesting battle against the increasing wind shear.

PREDICTOR: Tropical Storm Isaias (pronounced ees-ah-EE-as) is likely to form within the next couple of days, and its remnants are aiming for the Midwest late in the weekend. This would be the 9th named storm of the Atlantic season -- with NO hurricanes so far. #Isaias #tropics #rain

Meteorologist Dan Smith @dansmithweather.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

Brrrr! That fall chill made itself known this morning -- our coolest in Toledo since early May, with the mid-30s in some western counties. We'll be well away from any frost concerns for the next week at least (low to mid-40s Fri/Sat).

Low temps, NW Ohio/SE Michigan (Tue Oct 6): 38F Toledo, 36F Hillsdale/Wauseon, 43F Port Clinton.

10-DAY: We’ll make a run at the upper-30s in Toledo by Tuesday morning, warming quickly near 70° in the afternoon -- and even the mid-70s Wednesday, aided by a southwest breeze. Check out that weekend forecast, too! 😎 #Toledo #weather

There's only a small chance of some patchy frost tonight, mainly west of I-75. Most areas should drop to around 40 degrees, above the frosty range. With that said, it's that time of the year for our western counties to get their first frost of the season (on average).

Outside of lows near 40° Tuesday morning, it's a warm October week in the works in Toledo. 👇

Most of us will stay just outside frosty territory Tuesday morning, though it'll still be our coolest air of this young fall season so far across NW Ohio/SE Michigan.

Toledo forecast (tonight-early Tuesday Oct 6): low 39F, small chance of frost in outlying areas.
