CLEVELAND — Northeast Ohio is cleaning up after another round of severe weather Thursday that brought damaging winds, flooding, and even high-water rescues in some communities. Unfortunately, we cannot drop the rain and storm chance...yet. But the forecast will gradually dry out throughout the holiday weekend!
The same boundary that helped fuel Thursday's storms is still draped across Ohio. That means we'll be watching for another couple more showers and storms tonight and Saturday.
Thankfully, the severe threat is lower, but not zero. This is especially true the farther south and west you live. Any storm that develops could dump heavy rain in a short amount of time and produce strong wind gusts or hail.
Power of 5 Regions highlights: West and South Regions
Our West and South regions will have the best chance of storms and potential severe weather heading into tonight. The timing looks to be after midnight and lasting through Saturday morning in spots.
There looks to be a much greater threat for strong or severe storms in SW Ohio, but there will likely be a glancing blow across Erie, Huron, and Richland Counties. It once again is a bit of a wait-and-see as to how storms develop and progress over the evening hours to the NW of NEO. It could be a big ol swing and a miss! But we certainly want everyone to remain weather aware as you head to bed and have a way to get audible warnings.
