CLEVELAND — The sky keeps clearing today as more sunshine takes over Northeast Ohio. Temps reach into the middle 70s along the lakeshore and near 80º inland. A light north breeze keeping things comfy, but it also kicks up Lake Erie a bit. Waves run 2 to 4 feet, Lake Erie is a bit choppy today.

Tonight turns cool and quiet with temps dropping back into the 50s.

Tuesday is looking even better. Sunshine fills the sky from morning through evening as temps climb from the mid 50s at daybreak into the mid 80s during the afternoon. It's shaping up to be one of the nicest days of the week.

Changes arrive Wednesday as a few storms move back into the forecast. More rounds of rain follow through the end of the week and could linger into this weekend as the pattern turns more active.
