CLEVELAND — NEO hit the mid and upper 80s Wednesday afternoon! It was the warmest afternoon in MONTHS across NE Ohio (255 days to be exact)! The rest of this evening will be mild with temperatures in the mid-60s overnight as clouds increase ahead of a slow-moving front.
Isolated t-showers will continue to be possible in our western communities ahead of this front, but most of the area should stay dry with only a stray shower overnight.
The chance for storms ramps up tomorrow with scattered showers and storms, especially during the afternoon. Temperatures will be cooler on Thursday with more clouds and storms around
A few showers are expected in the morning, but storms will increase in coverage and intensity shortly after noon. A few strong storms will be possible, with damaging winds and heavy rain as the primary concerns.
The front will continue to bring on and off storm chances on Friday, before it finally moves out of the region Friday night into early Saturday. There will be a huge range in rainfall amounts, with some spots picking up less than 0.25 inches and other spots picking up 2 inches or more. Areas that experience the heaviest rain could also deal with localized flooding.
Cooler and drier conditions are on tap for the weekend. Rain chances will make a comeback to begin the new work week.
