August temperatures a little cooler than normal in the Ohio valley with spotty rainfall.

With several stretches of both above-normal and below-normal temperatures, average temperatures in general were not too far from normal values. Many locations in August had near or above normal precipitation for the month, especially near/southeast of the I-71 corridor. Due to the scattered nature of thunderstorm activity, some areas still ended up below normal for the month.
