CLEVELAND —
Wet weekend: Plan for multiple rounds of heavy rain
After a fabulous Friday, the rainy weather pattern is back this weekend. Rain showers moved in this morning, and a few waves of downpours will move through the area later this afternoon.
The heaviest rain on Saturday will likely be in our west region for the first half of the afternoon, then focusing to the South region by this evening.
While it will not rain the entire day or hit every community, heavy rain will be possible again on Sunday. This rainfall looks to be more widespread, especially in the first half of the day.
There is no threat for severe weather (i.e. damaging wind and hail), but repeated rounds of heavy rain could lead to localized flooding. The Power of 5 Weather team will continue to monitor the flood threat through the weekend.
A few more showers will linger from Monday through Wednesday with some of the coolest temps we have felt in months! Highs could be in the low 60s to officially kick off fall!
Power of 5 Regions Highlight: West Region
As mentioned above, it appears the rain will arrive first in our West Region and northern counties with some of the heaviest rainfall on Saturday. A level 2 out of 4 risk has been issued for flash flooding, with the best chance at heavy rain after noon and before sunset.
