CLEVELAND —
Rain returns...
Tuesday was picture perfect! Today's increasing clouds are the first sign of our next weather maker. Plan for mostly cloudy skies tonight with temperatures in the upper 50s to the mid 60s across NEO. A few t-showers are possible Wednesday morning, with rain and storms becoming even more likely by Wednesday evening. The overnight rain could become widespread and heavy.
Power of 5 Region Spotlight: West, CLE Metro and the Snowbelt...
The clouds are the first sign of changes before isolated showers return overnight and into Wednesday. A couple of showers are first possible in our West Region (specifically NW) around 5 am. The farther north you live, the better chance you have to see a few showers out the door Wednesday morning; this includes the CLE Metro Region and the Snowbelt Region. Truth be told, this first round of showers is expected to fall apart as they move inland and look pretty unimpressive. So much of NEO will be dry until later on Wednesday.
A better chance for rain and storms will be possible by the late afternoon into the evening on Wednesday. Temperatures will be slightly below average, with most in the upper 70s to around 80. The bad news: the humidity will become more noticeable & we will need to plan for increasing rain and storm chances by Wednesday evening across NEO. The heaviest rain is expected to fall in our South Region.
Looking ahead...
The good news? Even drier air arrives behind the storms. But we have to get through Thursday morning first. It looks like it could be soaked for some communities during the first half of the day, with a drying trend during the afternoon and evening.
Friday is shaping up to be gorgeous with plenty of sunshine, comfortable humidity, and highs mainly in the 70s.
Enjoy the stretch of late-summer perfection while it lasts because rain chances return this weekend. Rain and storm chances look to increase Saturday afternoon and evening, with a few more lingering showers on Sunday.
