CLEVELAND — Finally! The lake-effect machine has been turned OFF, with the last of the rain fizzling safely over the water and away from land. It will be a brighter and warmer day on Sunday with temperatures rising into the upper 50s.
The next system we are watching is a very complicated setup. The initial storm, which is currently part of an atmospheric river on the west coast, will march over the Rockies and dive into the Deep South midweek. Another coastal storm will be forming at the same time off the Georgia coast. There is a high chance these storms fuse together into one franken-storm on Thursday, and impact our weather on Thursday and Friday, which is Halloween.
The exact track and intensity will be key to how much rain works its way into our area. Showers are possible as early as Wednesday evening as this system approaches, but it is not a guarantee. We will be sure to keep you posted on the latest trends and potential lake-effect precipitation after the storm on Halloween, so be sure to check back or tune in. The lake-effect part of the system could bring significant lake-effect precipitation most of next weekend.
