CLEVELAND — Don't let your guard down overnight, as widespread rain and storms are expected after midnight until 8 or 9 am on Tuesday. The storms are coming from the north in Michigan and will push south over the next several hours.
Heavy rain will be the biggest concern, but strong to severe wind gusts and hail are also possible. Heavy rain could lead to flooding. Be extra careful on the roads overnight. It is always harder to see flooded roads.
It will be a wet start to the day, but as the cold front slides away from NEO, it will gradually get drier as cooler and less humid air starts to settle in. The break from the heat will be noticeable. Highs drop into the 70s for a couple of days before the 80s make a comeback later this week. After a super soaker night, the rest of the workweek is looking dry! The next rain chance holds off until the weekend...but that is several days away.
