CLEVELAND —
Storms Fade, But Flood Threat Lingers
Thunderstorms are making for a wet start to the day across Northeast Ohio, but most of the activity should fade by midday. We'll keep a few showers and storms in the forecast through the afternoon, with the best chance focused across our West and South Regions.
Highs today will only reach the mid 70s, making it one of the cooler days we've seen lately.
Power of 5 Regions Highlight: West Region
The West Region is today's area of concern. Repeated rounds of rain have saturated the ground, and any additional downpours could quickly lead to localized flooding. Keep an eye on areas that typically collect water, especially near creeks, streams, and low-lying roads.
Friday looks even quieter. Highs stay in the low 70s, but much drier air arrives. Humidity levels drop noticeably, making it feel much more comfortable.
That break won't last long.
Humidity starts climbing again this weekend, bringing increasing rain chances Saturday and Sunday. With several opportunities for heavier rainfall, the flood threat will remain elevated through the weekend.
