Your forecast
Warm, windy and eventually wet (for some) today. Let's start with the good... we're in the lower 60s today! We get there thanks to the wind. Gusts to 40mph for everyone today, could be even stronger along the North Coast. That's enough for blowing debris. It's all in advance of a few t-showers. Best shot for rain is east of CLE from 3pm to 7pm. Nothing strong/damaging expected.
