CLEVELAND — After a fall-like start to the weekend, summery weather will be making a grand return across all of Northeast Ohio. We will see a warming trend each day for the next few days. So say goodbye to the 40s and 50s from this morning and hello to the 90s.
Power of 5 Regions highlight: West Region
As the warm weather returns, it will arrive a bit sooner to our west region, thanks to its location and topography. Sunday's highs could get close to 90 versus other areas of Ohio.
Looking ahead
Warmer temps and more humidity return by the end of the weekend. We jump from the 50s Saturday morning to a seasonable afternoon in the low 80s. We jump another 5 degrees by Sunday, and ANOTHER 5 by Monday! Temperatures are expected to climb to 90 degrees for the start of September! A true heat wave is possible on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.
Rain chances are pretty limited over the next few days. A couple of isolated showers are possible on Sunday, but they look light and mostly near the lake, not inland. Isolated chances for rain and random rumbles continue on Monday and Tuesday. It appears the heat wave ends by the end of the work week, with increased storm chances by Wednesday night and into Thursday. We will keep you posted on exact timing in the coming days.
