CLEVELAND — Widespread rain with embedded thunder and downpours hanging around until the AM Drive on Thursday. Temperatures will be well above average, with many locations in the mid to upper 40s to begin Thursday morning.

There's another wave right on the way. Plan on more downpours and thunder midday into Thursday afternoon, along with temperatures well into the 50s to near 60 for most areas.

These rounds of rain will fill our creeks and streams. Main rivers should be able to handle the flow, but we'll be monitoring river gauges closely. As an inch plus of rain will be possible for many through the end of Thursday evening.

We'll see a brief reprieve from the widespread rain on Friday, before more significant rain and even storms move in for the start of the weekend. Temperatures will continue to be well above average, with highs into the 60s on Friday, and nearing 70 on Saturday. Cleveland has not seen 70 or higher since October 19, 2025, nearly 140 days ago!
