CLEVELAND — Happy Summer Solstice!! It is officially Astronomical Summer. The official kickoff was at 4:24 AM EDT overnight. Between yesterday and today, these two days have the most daylight all year, 15 hours and 11 minutes of daylight to enjoy outdoor activities with Dad!
The sun will fade behind clouds into the afternoon, but don't forget the sunscreen. The UV index will still be very high through the high thin clouds that do not block out the harmful UV rays. Temperatures are warming back into the mid to upper 70s. Any outdoor plans with Dad look to be okay, unless you have any evening plans, especially after 6 p.m..
Rain moves in from west to east, starting between 5 and 6 p.m. near Mansfield and Sandusky, closer to 7 and 8 p.m. in the Cleveland metro, and closer to 10 p.m. south and east. Heavy rain is likely Sunday night into Monday morning. 1-2 inches will be possible; and with this said, some flooding and ponding will be a concern through Monday.
Rain will end fairly early on Monday, but temperatures will continue to be well below average for this late into June. We average highs around 80, but highs on Monday will only be near 70. We'll get closer to 80 by the end of the work week with pop-up storm chances and higher humidity.
