CLEVELAND — Rain has returned to NEO this Friday and will continue into Saturday. The highest chance for rain for the entire 7-day forecast is on Saturday, particularly the first half of the day, with pockets of heavy rain.
We will be watching for any stronger storms, but the best ingredients appear to be staying in southern Ohio. However, repeated rounds of heavy rain could lead to localized flooding. There will be large ranges of rainfall totals with a general 0.25 inches to 1 inch of rain, but some communities that see the heaviest rain could result in over 2 to 3 inches of rain.
The best chance for rain on Saturday is in the morning with a *gradual* drying trend through the afternoon and evening.
As for Father's Day, we are cautiously optimistic! There is still a chance for rain and storms, but the chances is much lower than a few days and there will be A LOT more dry time in comparison to Saturday, with the best chance in our south and eastern communities. It may be a complete swing and a miss for our viewing area!
As for temperatures, it's looking seasonable and summery for several days with highs in the upper 70s to low 80s. Then get ready for humidity to be on the rise next week, fueling some afternoon thunderstorms.
