CLEVELAND — We continue to watch for rain and storms possibly early Friday evening. The best chance will be after 3pm, and while not a wash out, have a plan to stay dry from time to time.

Rain chances look to increase significantly by Friday night and continue into Saturday. Plan for rain and storms on both Saturday and Father's Day. The highest chance for rain for the entire 7-day forecast is on Saturday, particularly the first half of the day, with pockets of heavy rain. We will be watching for any stronger storms, but the best ingredients look to hang out in southern Ohio

Rain could be heavy at times, potentially leading to localized flooding. Rumbles of thunder will also be possible. Lingering rain chances for Father's Day as well, but the rain looks lighter and favors communities away from the lakeshore. As the system pulls away from Ohio by Sunday evening, so does the rain.

As for temperatures, it's looking seasonable for several days with highs in the upper 70s to low 80s.

Then get ready for humidity to be on the rise next week, fueling some afternoon thunderstorms.

DAILY FORECAST:

Friday: Plenty of dry time, rain chances increase by Friday evening. | High: 79º

Saturday: Rain and storms are likely. Heavy rain at times. | High: 75º

Father's Day: Scattered t-storms, especially away from the lakeshore. | High: 77º

Monday: A Few pop-up t-showers. | High: 81º

Tuesday: Scattered storms. | High: 83º
