CLEVELAND — Heavy lake effect rain will continue to be possible again tonight, although it does not look like it will be one singular band dropping buckets of rain, but rather multiple bands that will impact more communities. Some communities could pick up an additional inch or two through Friday night, especially in the snowbelt.
Meanwhile, areas from Akron and points south & west will likely not see a single drop. That's the nature of lake-effect, and rain versus snow doesn't change the setup geographically. With fewer clouds, in our southwestern communities, it will get cold overnight! Lows in the mid to low 30s are possible. A frost advisory has been issued for about half of the viewing area. More details can be found here.
A few more lingering lake effect showers are expected on Friday, but coverage will begin to decrease. The best shot will once again be in our NE communities. It will remain chilly with highs in the low 50s, but winds will be decreasing! Plan for westerly winds up to 15 mph on Friday morning that will decrease by the afternoon and evening.
There looks to be a gradual increase in the temperatures by this weekend and early next week. Afternoon temperatures in the upper 50s and low 60s are expected. Speaking of the weekend, it is looking much drier! Plan for a few lingering showers early on Saturday, but as high pressure builds into NEO, we look dry by Saturday evening, Sunday, and Monday.
