CLEVELAND —
Fabulous Friday Forecast...for the most part
After a soggy start to your Thursday, the weather improved significantly by the evening. The clearing and drying continue tonight. It will be a mostly clear, starry night. But it will also get a bit cool tonight! Temperatures by Friday morning will be in the mid to upper 50s for much of NEO. But it's only a brief chill; Friday brings plenty of sunshine and a pleasant afternoon with highs in the low 80s. The forecast looks fantastic for most of the day and for most of our regions.
West Region Spotlight
There is only a slim chance of a stray thunderstorm by Friday night/early Saturday in our west region. It appears that it will be a weakening line of thunderstorms, so by the time they arrive in our west region, they should be falling apart as they progress east. However, it continues to show up on our future radar, so we wanted to be sure to give a heads-up that Erie, Huron, Lorain, Ashland, and Richland Counties could see a couple of showers after 9 pm on Friday. More storms are expected on Saturday.
Looking ahead:
Storms return for all of NEO by Saturday afternoon and evening. We're keeping a close eye on the timing because it could impact the Browns game. As of Thursday evening, it appears storms will roll into NEO between 2 and 4 pm. Anyone heading downtown should plan for rain, especially during the second half of the game. These storms could also become strong or severe, with damaging wind gusts as the main concern, but remember any storm is dangerous when there is lightning. When thunder roars, get indoors! A few showers will linger on Sunday, but this weekend does not look like a washout.
Thursday Night: Clear & cool. | Low: 59º
