CLEVELAND — Heat advisories are in effect until 8pm with heat index readings hanging in the 90s this evening. Skies will be partly cloudy overnight with mild and muggy lows between 70 & 75 degrees. Thunderstorms over lower Michigan late this afternoon are expected to fade away over Lake Erie tonight. But another round of storms will form to our north and slide south into Northern Ohio by the morning rush on Wednesday. Because of clouds and rain-cooled air, Wednesday's high temperatures will be a bit cooler in the middle 80s. We will be watching for a line of severe storms to develop by late afternoon sliding east across the region. Any of these storms could contain damaging winds, heavy rains, & large hail.

We won't break the humidity until this weekend.

Thursday will be warm & muggy with isolated storms and a high near 84.

More strong storms are possible Friday afternoon as a strong cold front arrives bringing cooler, less humid air for the weekend. Friday stays hot with temperatures climbing again into the lower 90s.

High temperatures for Saturday and Sunday will be in the lower 80s.

What To Expect:

  • Heat advisories thru 8pm
  • Air Quality Alerts
  • Mild & muggy tonight
  • Strong storms possible Wednesday
  • Heat breaks this weekend
