CLEVELAND — After one to two-plus inches of rain on Thursday, it has been a dry start to Friday. A few isolated lake-effect showers are possible later this evening for a few trick-or-treaters.
Lake Erie is still ROUGH with winds gusting to 35 mph, so it will feel chilly the rest of today, and allow the opportunity for lake-effect rain to develop later.
There will be some peeks of sun, especially south of Akron this afternoon. A couple of isolated showers can't be ruled out for trick-or-treating there, but the better potential for lake-effect showers looks to hold off until after 9 or 10 pm on Friday and stay confined to the snowbelt areas. Keep in mind, it will be chilly and blustery for Halloween night with temperatures in the 40s but wind chills in the 30s with lingering gusts of 20 to 30 mph.
This weekend will feature a couple more showers. The rain looks widely scattered on Saturday, and it is only a slim shot on Sunday. Highs will be slightly below average to start November, with temps in the low and mid 50s.
Reminder: The time change is this weekend. We "fall back" on Sunday at 2 am. The sunset will be around 5:20 pm on Sunday. Winter is coming! And so are not one, but two clippers next week. They typically bring snow during the winter, but these will just bring a few passing rain showers on Monday and on Wednesday.
