CLEVELAND —
The rest of tonight...
As expected, a cluster of storms moved in from the west this afternoon and evening, bringing the strongest storms across the snowbelt region in Lake, northern Geauga, and northern Ashtabula Counties. And that was the show! The rest of the night will be variably cloudy and mild, with temperatures in the upper 60s and low 70s. A couple more showers with isolated downpours will be possible tonight, especially closer to the lake. Tomorrow will be the calmest day this week so far! The majority of NEO will be dry....
Power of 5 Regions spotlights: West AND South Regions
Storms shift farther south on Thursday and will continue to batter southern Ohio. The humidity sticks around, though, so I can't completely rule out an isolated t-shower or two, especially south region along with the southern portion of the west region. These showers and downpours are most likely during the evening. Otherwise, it looks like a dry, warm, muggy day, with highs near 80.
Looking ahead
A similar story for Friday. The best chance of additional showers and storms is in our southern region, but even there, it looks to be isolated t-showers. There looks to be plenty of dry time this weekend, but a few thunderstorms are expected late Saturday/early Sunday, with another round of storms possible Sunday evening into Monday. The pattern looks to FINALLY flip early next week, with fully dry days by Tuesday and cooler-than-average temperatures.
