CLEVELAND — There may still be a little wildfire smoke overhead, but we are also seeing increasing clouds as the next weather system approaches from the northwest. We are keeping an eye on a few clusters of storms to the NW this evening. A weakening line of storms will arrive overnight until about sunrise on Tuesday. Some heavy rain will be possible in our western communities as the line arrives and looks to fall apart as it moves east.
Thunderstorms are expected to redevelop quickly, though. By the late morning and early afternoon, plan for additional scattered storms. The atmosphere will become more active through the day, and stronger storms could develop Tuesday afternoon and evening. Some of those storms may produce damaging wind gusts, hail, and even isolated tornadoes. Heavy rain is also expected, and there may be localized flooding, especially for communities that have to deal with repeated rounds of rain.
If you have outdoor plans Tuesday, keep an eye on the forecast and be ready to move inside if storms approach. When thunder roars - get indoors! Storms will remain possible until 8 or 9 pm on Tuesday.
The unsettled weather won't last long. Much cooler air arrives Wednesday, knocking temperatures back into the lower 70s and giving Northeast Ohio a break from the recent warmth. It will gradually warm back up by the weekend.
