CLEVELAND — The Power of 5 forecast
Northeast Ohio is waking up to areas of fog after yesterday's rounds of rain and storms, but visibility will gradually improve through the morning.
Clouds will hang tough for much of the day with highs around 78 degrees. It will feel noticeably cooler than the past few days, but the air is still holding onto plenty of moisture, so expect another muggy afternoon.
Friday brings the best weather of the stretch. More sunshine and much lower humidity will make it feel much more comfortable, even with highs near 80 degrees.
The weekend turns warmer again as temps climb back into the 80s. Rain chances also return. A few showers and thunderstorms are possible Saturday, with additional rain chances carrying into Sunday.
Power of 5 Regions Highlight: South Region
The South Region is dealing with the thickest fog this morning, with some areas seeing sharply reduced visibility around the morning commute.
This region will also have the best chance for rain over the next few days. Communities south of Route 30 are expected to stay wetter than the rest of Northeast Ohio today.
While the Cleveland Metro, West, Akron-Canton, and Snowbelt regions will all have opportunities to see rain this weekend, the South Region, again, stands the best chance of picking up the most widespread rainfall.
