CLEVELAND —
Wet weekend: Plan for periods of heavy rain
After a fabulous Friday, it will be a bit *crisp* tonight with temperatures in the 50s for much of NEO. Some communities could dip into the low 50s away from the lake. Clouds will begin to move back into NEO before our next rainmaker system. A stray light shower is possible overnight, especially closer to the lake, but most will stay dry.
However, the humidity and rain chances ramp back up by Saturday afternoon and linger into Sunday. Saturday's rain chance will increase throughout the day. The heaviest rain on Saturday will likely be in our west region and along the lakeshore in CLE Metro and the snowbelt. While it will not rain the entire weekend or hit every communitiy, heavy rain will be possible again on Sunday. This rainfall looks to be more widespread, especially in the first half of the day.
The threat for severe weather looks pretty low, but repeated rounds of heavy rain could lead to localized flooding. 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.
A few more showers will linger from Monday through Wednesday with some of the coolest temps we have felt in months! Highs could be in the low 60s to officially kick off fall!
