CLEVELAND — We're soaked today. Plan on waves of rain. There's a cold front sinking south and should focus the heaviest rain south of Akron this afternoon. That's also the best likelihood of thunder. Heavy rain, brief gusty winds and an occasional rumble of thunder are possible.
Northwest winds will dry us out this evening. It'll also cool us off. We're in the 30s overnight, with highs only in the middle 40s Friday. Winds look to be light tonight, so fog is possible tonight and early tomorrow. We should be dry most of the day on Friday but not all day. We are watching another wave on its way for late Friday. It shouldn't have much moisture with it, but it's even colder. We're dropping into the 20s Friday night. That means a few rain showers changing to snow showers as we head into the weekend. Lingering lake-effect snow is possible on Saturday.
Saturday will be blustery & cold... We're stuck in the 20s all day. But next week is looking wet and mild!
What To Expect:
- Widespread rain
- Heaviest south of Akron
- Much cooler Friday
- Even colder Saturday
- Big rebound Sunday/Next week
