CLEVELAND —
Rain holds off until the end of the week
Grab a light jacket if you're heading out early Tuesday. As skies clear tonight, temps fall back to the low 50s and mid-50s along the lakeshore. Some of the colder inland spots may dip into the upper 40s.
Tuesday is the pick of the week! Sunshine from start to finish and highs in the lower and mid-70s. We warm things up even more Wednesday with temps in the mid to upper 70s, then push into the 80s by Thursday afternoon with a southerly breeze and gusts around 20-25 mph. It will feel like summer again!
The next weather maker arrives late Thursday. That's important because of the Browns' Thursday Night Football game. Plan to bring a poncho if you are going to the game, but we may be able to squeeze out the game before the rain arrives.
It will arrive first in northwest Ohio and our west region. As of Monday evening, the system continues to slow, and I am cautiously optimistic the rain could hold off until after midnight, with all of the rain falling on Friday. We will continue to monitor the latest timing of the rain in the coming days.
South Region Highlight
This evening, there was a cool weather phenomenon that I was able to see around sunset Monday evening on our Wooster cam: "two suns"! The second sun is also known as a sun dog. Sunlight is shining through ice crystals high in the sky and bending the sunlight. The ice crystals act like a prism! Pretty cool! And it will be cool tonight across the south region, with low 50s and maybe a couple of upper 40s.
