CLEVELAND — The lake effect rain machine is finally being switched off! Plan for a few showers in our NE communities overnight and into early Saturday, along with thicker clouds. Those clouds will prevent temperatures from cooling too much. Closer to the lake, plan for temperatures in the mid-30s to low 40s by early Saturday morning.
Meanwhile, communities south of Akron and west of Cleveland will be dry with clouds trying to clear. With fewer clouds, in our southwestern communities, temperatures could drop like a rock and fall below freezing by early Saturday. Sub-freezing temperatures are possible, and a freeze warning has been issued for several counties. More details regarding the freeze warning can be found here.
Coverage will continue to decrease for the lake-effect rain this weekend. The best shot will once again be in our NE communities. It will remain chilly with highs in the low to mid 50s. There looks to be a gradual increase in the temperatures by this weekend and early next week. Afternoon temperatures are expected to be in the upper 50s on Sunday and Monday, and as high pressure builds into NEO, we look dry by Saturday evening, Sunday, and Monday.
The next system we are watching is a doozy! It will be moving NE from the southern plains, but the exact track and how far north it will move are still unknown. Showers are possible Tuesday - Thursday as this system approaches, but it is not a guarantee. We will be sure to keep you posted on the latest trends, so be sure to check back or tune into News 5!
