CLEVELAND — A couple of stray t-showers are possible tonight, but the much higher chance for rain holds off until early Thursday as a pair of cold fronts aim NEO on Thursday and again Friday night. The first will roll through on Thursday. High temperatures are expected to occur very early on Thursday and drop into the lower 60s for the rest of the day under a cloudy and misty sky with a gusty northwest wind. Some gusts could approach 30 miles per hour.
Rain will be increasing first thing on Thursday, around 2 to 4 am in our western communities, and continue to spread east through the morning (arriving around 5 to 7 am in Cleveland and between 6 am and 8 am farther east). The best chance for rain for the entire viewing area is in the first half of the day, with the heaviest downpours timing with the morning commute. Due to the timing of the rain, the severe weather threat is low. We will have to watch the radar as rain and storms push east through during the afternoon for a rogue strong or damaging wind gust in our southern and easternmost.
On Friday, temperatures try to rebound with 70s returning, but that's as far as the rebound will go. The second cold front moves through at night with some fierce winds accompanying the front. Some gusts could hit 40 miles per hour, especially at the lake, on Friday evening. A few PM showers and storms are possible in our southeastern communities.
The wind and some rain will bring a resurgence of chilly temperatures. Plan for highs in the 60s this weekend with a few showers. This includes the Browns Home Opener! And don't worry...a warming trend is taking shape next week!
