CLEVELAND — Dense fog will continue through the morning on Wednesday, especially along the shoreline counties, where a dense fog advisory is in effect until 11 AM Wednesday.

After the fog, more rain will begin to move in on Wednesday, primarily for the second half of the day. Then, the real party begins Thursday as another, much more potent storm will unlock more warmth and moisture, meaning 60s are likely, but so are scattered downpours and rumbles.

Wednesday through Saturday, at least an inch and a half is likely, with isolated spots of over 2-3 inches where downpours stall out (mainly Thursday). While each storm will not bring too much, the fact that there will be a consistent dose of new rain on top of dry ground is a recipe for scattered minor flooding, particularly in spots that do not typically see it.

If the jet stream lifts far enough north to push most of the rain over the lake, AND avoid a lake breeze, 70s are likely everywhere on Saturday, which would be within five degrees of a record in most locations. Given this is still several days away, check back for forecast updates.
