CLEVELAND —
Quiet Stretch Before a Soggy Friday
We've got a nice stretch of weather the next few days. Expect more sunshine today with highs around 73. If you're heading out early, you may want a light jacket, but the afternoon will feel pretty comfortable.
Clouds increase Wednesday and Thursday, but most of Northeast Ohio stays dry. A stray shower is possible Wednesday, and an isolated thunderstorm could pop up Thursday as temps climb from the upper 70s into the lower 80s.
Friday is the day to watch. Heavy rain looks likely, and some areas could see flooding issues. It'll be one of those days where temps fall instead of rise, dropping from the upper 60s in the morning into the lower 60s by afternoon as the rain moves through.
The payoff comes this weekend. Sunshine returns, humidity stays low, and highs hold in the 60s. It'll feel much more like October across Northeast Ohio.
