CLEVELAND —
Relief From the Humidity Is Finally on the Way
It still feels tropical across Northeast Ohio this morning, but the countdown to more comfortable air is underway. A north wind is pushing drier air south, and dew points are already starting to fall. The change won't happen all at once, but you'll notice it feeling better as the day goes on.
We'll keep an eye on the sky this afternoon, especially across the South Region, where an isolated thunderstorm could pop up. Most neighborhoods stay dry, but a quick downpour and lightning can't be ruled out.
Power of 5 Regions Spotlight: South Region
The South Region has the best chance to see a stray afternoon storm today as the cooler, drier air slowly works its way into Northeast Ohio. Coverage looks very limited, but if a storm develops, expect brief heavy rain and lightning. Keep an eye on the forecast if you have outdoor plans later today.
Looking Ahead
Tuesday is looking much more comfortable. We'll start the day cooler with noticeably lower humidity, followed by a warm afternoon. Temps still climb into the warm category, but it won't have that sticky feel we've been dealing with recently.
Storm chances return Wednesday as the next system approaches. Some of those storms could become strong, but the severe threat will depend heavily on timing. We'll be watching closely over the next couple of days. The good news is that even more comfortable air is expected to arrive behind those storms.
