CLEVELAND —
Pop-up storms this evening
A stray storm is possible this evening, but there is a better chance for widespread downpours overnight tonight. Heavy rain is the main threat. This looks similar to last night's rain, but the heaviest rain will likely fall in our south region.
Power of 5 Region Spotlight: South Region
The rain and storms that rolled through overnight/early Friday morning hit northern communities the hardest. While a lot of NEO OH will be dealing with heavy rain overnight, some of the heaviest rain will likely hit communities in the south region a bit harder than 24 hours ago.
The main concern with this overnight activity will be heavy rain that could lead to flooding, but we cannot rule out lightning or brief gusty winds. The worst of this heavy rain will exit to the east early Saturday morning.
Looking Ahead
We'll quickly heat things back up Saturday. Highs climb into the mid and upper 80s with high humidity. It will feel super steamy! During the afternoon and evening, another round of hit-or-miss heavy rain and thunderstorms will be possible. Flash flooding could once again become a concern where storms repeatedly track over the same areas.
Sunday looks to be the quietest day of the weekend with mainly dry weather for most of Northeast Ohio. A line of strong storms will be moving toward NW Ohio by Sunday night. We will need to monitor its progression Sunday evening.
Additional rain and storm chances return Monday as another weather system moves through the region. There is already a risk posted from the Storm Prediction Center for all of NEO on Monday, meaning damaging storms will be possible. Keep this in mind as we start the new week! Lingering storm chances will continue to be possible again next week, so keep the umbrella handy!
