CLEVELAND —
Brief break before wet weekend
The last of the overnight showers departed the South region well before sunrise. The clouds are hanging tough through the morning, but sunshine will increase from north to south this afternoon.
It will be a much drier, brighter, cooler, and breezier day today. There is a moderate risk for rip currents in Lake Erie with Northeast winds around 10-20 mph, so use extra caution in and around the water.
Despite the cool wind, today is the pick of the week. Humidity and rain chances ramp back up by Saturday and linger into Sunday. Saturday's rain chance will increase throughout the day. Heavy rain will be possible on Sunday, bringing a renewed threat for flooding across NEO.
The Power of 5 Weather team will continue to monitor the flood threat. Keep in mind that rain could impact any outdoor plans you have this weekend. It will get cooler by next week with lingering rain chances.
Power of 5 Regions Highlight: Snowbelt Region
Today's weather is going to be improving across all regions, but the sunshine will come out in the Snowbelt Region first. So you'd think it would be warmer there then, right? Nope! The lake breeze, with 25 mph gusts, will keep it cooler, with highs barely above 70 degrees north of I-90.
