Dreary start to the workweek, coolest stretch since May

CLEVELAND —

Dreary stretch continues...

Widespread showers are expected to fade away overnight and into Tuesday morning. Some mist and drizzle will be possible at times, though. It will be overcast, which will keep our temperatures steady but chilly. Plan for temperatures in the upper 40s to low 50s Tuesday morning.

Temperatures will continue to be sluggish, with most areas only in the lower to mid 60s for daytime highs on Tuesday and Wednesday. It will also continue to be breezy, with gusts of 20 to 30 mph possible on Tuesday. It will make the dreary stretch feel chilly and raw. It will also make it dangerous on Lake Erie.

While it is not really beach weather, there is a high risk for rip currents until Wednesday evening. There is also a small craft advisory in effect through 10 pm Wednesday. Waves over 4 feet will be possible. Lastly, waterspouts will also be possible.

Power of 5 Regions Highlight: South Region

Showers will be lingering until mid-week. The most widespread and heaviest rainfall looks to arrive overnight Tuesday and into Wednesday. Following the drenched weekend, the ground is already saturated, especially in our south region. With higher-intensity rainfall, there is a risk of excessive rainfall on Wednesday that could lead to flooding. This risk also includes portions of the west region, including southern Richland and Ashland Counties.

Looking ahead...

We are finally drying up during the second half of the work week. We will gradually warm up too, to more seasonable levels by this weekend. The first weekend of fall is looking fabulous!
