Introducing the Power of 5 regions, hyper-local weather for Northeast Ohio
News 5 has launched the Power of 5 Regions. We've divided Northeast Ohio into five unique weather regions so we can deliver hyper-local forecasts that are closer to your community and more useful for you. We've always provided a forecast for the entire area while highlighting specific weather patterns, but now we have another tool — another way to highlight our unique weather. Northeast Ohio doesn't experience the same weather everywhere. Our new approach recognizes those differences and places greater emphasis on the forecast where you live. Whether you're in the Cleveland Metro, near Akron-Canton, in the Snowbelt, west of I-71, or farther south, you'll see weather information that's more relevant to your day.
