CLEVELAND — We are keeping an eye on a line of storms moving into NEO from the west this evening. A strong storm will be possible, mainly in our western region, but storms will be weakening as they move east.
West Region Highlight: Best chance for storms this evening
The west region is once again the focus for Wednesday. As previously mentioned, storms will be moving into our west region around sunset on Wednesday. The line of storms is expected to weaken, but the greatest impacts will be across Erie, Huron, Ashland, Richland, Lorain, and Medina Counties. The severe weather risk is greater to the NW of NEO, including Detroit, Toledo, and Fort Wayne, but we will be watching for strong wind gusts, lightning, and heavy rain as these storms move into our viewing area. As the line continues to weaken, the chance for storms drops the farther east you live.
Looking ahead:
On Thursday, we will have to watch for additional pop-up and isolated storms, but there should be plenty of dry time. If you're heading to the Browns game Thursday evening, keep an eye on the forecast, as the chance for an isolated storm cannot be ruled out, but it should be much drier than the last Browns preseason game last Saturday!
A stray storm will continue to be possible on Friday, but dry weather returns for the weekend. Friday and Saturday will be *slightly* below average, before warmer temps and more humidity return by early next week. Temperatures are expected to climb into the mid and maybe even the upper 80s by Sunday into the start of September!!
