Picture Perfect end to the work week

CLEVELAND —

The Power of 5 forecast

It's a beautiful finish to the workweek across Northeast Ohio.

Expect wall-to-wall sunshine today with low humidity, little to no wind, and afternoon temps topping out around 78 degrees. It will be one of those nearly perfect September days, especially for outdoor events and 9/11 memorial services happening across the area.

Power of 5 Regions Highlight: South Region

The South Region is our weather highlight heading into Saturday.

Cities south of Canton have the best chance to see heavier rainfall as a stronger wave of moisture moves into Northeast Ohio. While everyone has a chance for rain, the highest rainfall totals are expected south of the Rt. 30 corridor.

If you have outdoor plans Saturday in the South Region, keep a close eye on the forecast and be prepared for periods of steady, occasionally heavy rain.
