CLEVELAND — A cold front will move through Northern Ohio tonight, ushering in cooler weather for Saturday and Sunday.
Scattered rain showers and thunderstorms are likely for the first half of tonight as the cold front sweeps east. Behind the front, temperatures will drop back into the 40s near the lakeshore and 50s inland with a few lingering chilly showers through mid-morning.
The weekend will start with rain early on Saturday, but that rain will end quickly, and clouds will be trying to clear throughout the rest of the day. The high temperature on Saturday will happen early and drop into the 40s by mid to late morning and barely rise during the afternoon.
The rest of the weekend looks dry, although Saturday will not feel like late April! Highs will barely be cracking 50 degrees! The cool down does not last long, though - we will warm quickly again by early next week.
We will also be watching for the next round of storms on Tuesday. A severe risk has already been posted by the Storm Prediction Center for the entire viewing area for Tuesday afternoon/evening. The time to plan is now!
