CLEVELAND —
Isolated storms this evening
The heat and humidity are even more present today, with upper 80s feeling like lower 90s. Because of that combo, a couple of isolated storms are possible this evening, mainly between 4 and 9 p.m., the highest threat will be in our Akron-Canton and South regions.
Power of 5 Region Spotlight: Akron-Canton Region
The rain and storms that rolled through overnight dropped nearly an inch of rain in Southern Stark County. Mother Nature likes to favor the same areas for back-to-back weak storms, like we had yesterday and will have later today. So out of the area-wide 30-percent chance for rain today, most of it will be in this region.
Looking Ahead: Monday's severe threat
Sunday looks to be the quietest day of the weekend with mainly dry weather for most of Northeast Ohio. A line of strong storms will be moving toward NW Ohio by Sunday night. We will need to monitor its progression Sunday evening, as it could reach coastal areas by midnight.
Additional rain and storm chances return Monday as another weather system moves through the region. There is already a risk posted from the Storm Prediction Center for all of NEO on Monday, meaning damaging storms will be possible. Keep this in mind as we start the new week! Lingering storm chances will continue to be possible again next week, so keep the umbrella handy!
