CLEVELAND —
Looking for Dry Time to End the Work Week
Clouds stick around today, but most neighborhoods stay dry. Temps climb back into the upper 70s to near 80 this afternoon, making for a comfortable day despite the gray sky.
Rain returning this evening, mainly across the West and South Regions. Most of it should stay light, so plans can continue with only a few interruptions. Rain coverage increases overnight as a stronger batch moves in ahead of Friday morning's commute.
Expect a wetter start to Friday with periods of scattered rain, a few downpours, and even some lightning. If you're heading out early, allow extra time and keep an eye out for ponding on roads. The good news: rain tapers off by midday Friday, and we're set up for a dry stretch through Saturday.
Power of 5 Regions Spotlight: South Region
The South Region has the best chance to pick up additional rain this evening. Most of the rain will be on the lighter side at first, but showers become more widespread overnight and could bring pockets of heavier rain by daybreak Friday. If you have evening outdoor plans, keep the umbrella handy and stay weather aware heading into the overnight hours.
