CLEVELAND — Happy Friday! Some of us on the east side woke up to a brief downpour or two, while everywhere else there are a few clouds and cool conditions. With a lake breeze in place, it will be a cooler and more comfortable day today. An isolated pop-up downpour can't be ruled out to the south because of said breeze.
Power of 5 Regions highlight: Akron-Canton region
Clouds will move in by midday with the lake breeze, and a shower or two can't be ruled out, popping up between about 1 and 5 p.m.
Looking ahead:
Friday night will be the coldest night in a while, and even having the windows open may leave your home chilly Saturday morning. Lows will dip down into the 50s everywhere, with some isolated upper 40s in higher elevations.
Warmer temps and more humidity return by the end of the weekend. We jump from 75 degrees Friday to near-80 Saturday, another 5 degrees by Sunday, and ANOTHER 5 by Monday! Temperatures are expected to climb to near 90 degrees for the start of September! The weekend is also looking dry. Storm chances should ramp up by the middle of next week.
