CLEVELAND — This storm system to our south is still lingering. Still pushing clouds and humidity our way, and rain will remain in our forecast.

Widely scattered storms will fade by tonight with only an isolated shower overnight. It will be partly cloudy and mild too! Temperatures early on Friday will be in the upper 50s and low 60s.

There will be plenty of dry time on Thursday, which means temps will soar! Plan for the lower 80s on Thursday with mid-80s on Friday.

That heat will come with storms, though. Best shot is late Thursday/overnight Friday and again Friday night into early Saturday. It is important to be weather aware on Thursday and Friday night, because a few storms could become strong or severe with damaging winds, hail, and even isolated tornadoes.

Be sure you have a way to get alerts - even while sleeping!

The best chance for rain will be early on Saturday, with a gradual drying and cool trend for the rest of the weekend. By Sunday, highs may only be in the 60s.

Wednesday Night: Storms fade, mild. | Low: 62º
