CLEVELAND — A cold front is approaching the area from the west during the day today, and more storms are expected, especially late on Wednesday and early Thursday. Once again, we will be monitoring the potential for severe storms during this time. The greatest chance for severe storms is to the west of our viewing area, with the potential diminishing farther east.

Be weather aware roughly after 6 pm this evening, as a line of storms will be approaching the area from the west around that time. All hazards are possible, including damaging winds, large hail, heavy rain, frequent lightning, and isolated tornadoes. The threat will end around 10 pm to midnight.

Look for a few more showers and rumbles of thunder on Thursday, as the front moves through and brings us sunshine and comfortable temperatures for the first day of summer on Friday. However, the comfortable air only lasts for a couple of days. We HEAT up quickly by the weekend - hello to our 1st heat wave of the season!! 90s for high temps, with heat index values well into the 90s, to perhaps 100!
