The southbound lanes of Interstate 75 between county Road 99 and U.S. 224, within the city of Findlay, will be shifted overnight Monday, July 2, into the early morning hours of Tuesday, July 3.
Both lanes of Interstate 75 southbound in that area are currently located toward the center of the highway, next the median. Monday night’s traffic shift will move them to the right, allowing traffic to travel on the two outside lanes. Access to all Findlay exits from Interstate 75 southbound will be maintained.
“It will be hot and humid from Thursday to Sunday with little to no chance of rain. FIRST ALERT DAYS are up for excessive heat Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Temperatures may reach 100 degrees Saturday afternoon, the first 100 degree day since July 17, 2012.”
Intellicast is predicting a high of 92 in Ada on Saturday.
In any case, crank up the A/C and drink plenty of fluids Friday through Sunday.

Mackalyn Figgins heads up the lunches for ReStore Community Center at Ada War Memorial Park.
The free lunches are held from noon until 1 p.m. Monday through Friday until Aug. 3. All are welcome.
Twelve people took advantage of the lunches on Wednesday. Mackalyn, from Fayette, Ohio, is helping as an intern, which she said is good experience for her since she majoring in youth ministry and music at Ohio Northern. Her musical talent includes singing and playing piano, trombone, and guitar. She will be an ONU junior this fall. She is also helping to start a youth ministry at the Alger First United Methodist Church this summer.
The Hardin County Extension Office reports that the rest of June is likely to be warmer than normal with high variability of rainfall but tendency to above normal rainfall.
It appears a heat dome will be centered in the south central U.S. this summer with periods where it shifts over the corn and soybean belt and Ohio Valley.
The next surge of heat will come this weekend into early next week. With these surges come a ring of fire of storms around the heat dome leading to locally heavy rainfall. However, that rain will be scattered.
The Ada Junior Civic League announced several year-end donations to various Ada community programs. The league’s special projects committee announced the club’s donation of $255 to following groups:
• Ada Public Library summer reading program
• ReStore Lunch in the Park program,
• Ada Schools lunch program (for children who forget their lunch money)
• resurfacing of the Ada park tennis courts.
The 2018-19 installation of officers was also announced. Those officers are Sherry Evans, president; Diane Sharrock and Linda Ferguson, co-vice presidents; Sandy Neely, secretary; Erin Swick, treasurer; and Phyllis Griffith, corresponding secretary.
