🌦️ HOMEGROWN WEATHER: POP-UP STORMS AND ANOTHER ROUND OF HEAVY POWDER ON THE UNDER BITS EDITION

Good morning to Darke, Miami, Shelby, Logan and Champaign counties. Mother Nature has apparently chosen heavy rain as your alarm clock. ☕🌧️

Rain is coming down pretty hard in spots, but nothing severe is being reported at this time.

Additional pop-up showers and thunderstorms may develop across the area today. These storms could appear quickly and bring brief heavy rain, gusty winds and plenty of sky grumbling.

Keep an eye on the radar, especially if you have outdoor plans. Ohio weather is operating on the “we’ll see what happens” forecast package today.

Special weather statement for Van Wert county. Winds to 30 mph and frequent lighting

09/03/2026

Hello weather friends. A voice post today. Storms have formed up to the north, just in northern Van Wert County, moving southeast. They should come through Van Wert, western Allen, and then through Mercer and Auglaize counties and through the south over the next couple hours. Nothing severe right now, but we'll keep an eye on it.

🚨 HOMEGROWN IS OFFICIALLY “SOLICITING” 🚨
Donations, people. We are soliciting donations to help pay for the Ruckus Bus vehicle graphics. Please settle down in the comments. 😂

The quote for wrapping this retired ambulance arrived, and apparently they expect actual money 🤨 not exposure, good intentions, or expired Subway coupons.

So, we’ve reached the point where I may have to stand along the curb showing a little leg while holding a sign that says:
“WILL CAUSE A RUCKUS FOR VEHICLE GRAPHICS.”

Nobody wants that. Traffic would slow down, deputies would have questions, and one of you would absolutely take pictures.

If you’d like to help make the Ruckus Bus look less like an ambulance that escaped retirement and more like the official HomeGrown community-support machine we know it can be, click the link in the comments to a pay what you feel in your heart donation transaction through stripe.

Every dollar helps us get this bus wrapped, rolling and ready to support our local volunteer Fire and EMS departments and Live from the field storm reporting

Can’t donate? Viewing, liking and sharing our content helps too and may prevent me from having to hike my shorts any higher.

Thank you for always supporting HomeGrown Alerts and our mission. Now help us wrap this thing before the curbside solicitation begins. 🚑😂

Well weather friends, the heat index is 92 at 1005pm and my patience level is zero.

How are the rest of you handling this September heat wave 🤣🤬

🚨 EARLY RELEASE: THE HEAT HAS DEFEATED EDUCATION 🚨

The heat wave and advisory have delivered the kind of breaking news every kid dreams of hearing:

🎒 Troy
🎒 Celina
🎒 Southeastern School District
🎒 Tipp City Schools
Delphos
Shawnee
Bellefontaine city schools

…are all releasing early today because of the heat!

That sound you hear is thousands of backpacks being zipped at record speed while pencils, homework and academic ambition are abandoned until further notice.

WE’RE GETTING OUT EARLY! BEST HEAT WAVE EVER! 🌞🚌

Parents, please check your district’s official announcement for exact dismissal and transportation details.

🥵 HomeGrown Weather: SEPTEMBER 1ST HEAT ADVISORY EDITION 🥵

The calendar says September, but Mother Nature apparently flipped past “early fall” and landed directly on Satan’s front porch.

A Heat Advisory is in effect for our area, bringing dangerous heat, thick Ohio humidity, and air with the consistency of warm potato soup.

I never thought I’d say this, but winter is starting to look pretty attractive. Even Shelly the Snow Supplier.. sky, not nose! is looking better by the day. At this point, she can pull into town with an overloaded cloud and start slinging flakes directly into my driveway.

Until Shelly returns:

💧 Drink plenty of water
🌳 Take breaks in the shade or air conditioning
🐾 Keep pets cool and off hot pavement
🚗 Never leave children or animals inside a vehicle
👵 Check on older neighbors and anyone without reliable air conditioning

September has arrived wearing flip-flops, carrying a box fan, and sweating through its shirt.

Stay cool, HomeGrown friends ❄️🥵

Remember when we were making jokes about Pumpkin spice and Hoodies. Mother took offense to that. Now we must pay.

🌥️ HOMEGROWN WEATHER: HAS ANYONE SEEN THE SUN EDITION

A heatwave is supposedly arriving, yet the sun is mysteriously absent. As your deeply confused local weatherman, I have reviewed the charts, checked the radar, and lightly smacked the equipment. None of it makes sense.

Our leading theory: Gary the Sunshine Man has finally gone off the rails and stolen the entire sun.

Please check Gary’s shed for:

A strange orange glow
Intense, unnatural heat
The muffled sound of solar flares
Gary insisting it has “always been that bright in there”

Sun or no sun, temperatures are still expected to reach the 90s this week, with nighttime lows only dropping into the lower 70s. Add in the kind of moisture only Ohio humidity can provide, and the outdoors will feel like someone microwaved a wet bath towel and wrapped it around the entire state.

Remember: if Gary opens that shed door, do not look directly at it. ☀️🥵

🔥 HOMEGROWN WEATHER: MOMS STACK OF "STORIES" EDITION 🔥

After a brief stay in witness protection, your local HomeGrown weatherman has returned with news guaranteed to make you hot under the collar.

Mother Nature has apparently lost track of the calendar and is slipping back into her steamy era.

Today and throughout the week, the sun will ride across the sky like a shirtless conqueror on the cover of a discount romance novel, delivering highs around 90 degrees.

Even after dark, temperatures will refuse to loosen their embrace, with nighttime lows struggling to fall below 70.

The humidity will wrap itself around you, leaving you breathless, glistening, and quivering with anticipation…for winter.

Meanwhile, a gentle breeze may softly caress your neck, just enough to make the hairs stand up, but nowhere near enough to stop the swampification occurring beneath your clothing.

Then comes Thursday.

Thunderstorm chances return, bringing flashes of passion, dramatic tension, and a deep rumbling vibration from parts unknown.

Stay hydrated, avoid prolonged eye contact with the sun, and remember: this heat may be temporary...but the emotional damage to your electric bill could last forever.
