CLEVELAND —

Another Round of Strong Storms Coming From Western Ohio

It's a quiet start to the day across Northeast Ohio. Patchy fog is possible early this morning, and temps are sitting in the mid-60s. That calm weather won't last all day, though.

We'll warm back to near 80º this afternoon as humidity hangs around and storms develop. Expect a few pop-up storms during the early afternoon before a larger cluster of storms moves in from the west later in the day. Not everyone will see rain, but any storm that develops could turn strong.

Power of 5 Regions Spotlight: West Region

The West Region has the greatest chance of seeing the strongest storms and will likely be the first area impacted. Storms moving in from western Ohio could bring heavy downpours, frequent lightning, and damaging wind gusts.

If you have outdoor plans this afternoon or evening, keep an eye on the radar and be ready to head indoors quickly. Localized flooding is also possible where storms repeatedly move over the same areas.

Looking Ahead

Tomorrow brings a much calmer setup with fewer weather concerns. The humidity sticks around, though, so I can't completely rule out a few t-showers. Most of the day looks dry, warm, muggy and highs near 80.
