CLEVELAND — More widespread rain will move in from southwest to northeast through early Friday.
With the rain and falling temperatures, ice jams and flooding are major threats to Northeast Ohio rivers tonight. We're watching the river levels closely. Make sure you're signed up for local mobile alerts if you live in any flood-prone areas, especially with the concern of warmer temperatures and rain in the forecast.
Most of the rain should be gone by early Friday morning. And winter is making a return by the afternoon. After a brief time at 50 degrees midday, the temperature drops with snow squalls likely by the afternoon rush and then even lake-effect by the evening. Some quick accumulations are possible, of around an inch or two.
Colder air is locked in for the weekend with 30s during the day and 20s at night, with more snow likely on Sunday, with a few inches of snow possible.
