CLEVELAND — The heat wave is coming to an end. It will still be steamy on the fourth, but not AS hot as the last few days. Temps will be around 90 degrees with heat indices in the upper 90s to low triple digits. A heat advisory is in effect for Saturday because that kind of heat is still dangerous.
But as temperatures start to decrease, the chances of storms will ramp up. Storm returned on Friday with a line of severe storms crossing throughout NEO from about 7 to 10 pm. Those storms have now cleared our viewing area, leaving a lot of tree damage and power outages. But on-and-off storms are a part of the forecast for the rest of the holiday weekend as well.
Your Fourth of July *fourth*cast is steamy and stormy! Plan on more thunderstorms, but it does not look to rain all day, nor is it a guarantee for wet weather. Once again, storms could become strong or severe. The best chance for severe storms on Independence Day will be during the afternoon and evening, and in the east/southeast portion of our viewing area.
Additional on-and-off storms are expected on Sunday as well. The increase in storm chances will decrease our temperatures by next week. It will still be warm and summery, but highs in the low to mid 80s are expected.
