CLEVELAND — Enjoy the dry weather while it lasts! MORE storms are likely on Saturday. And if you've been following along, the timing has shifted a bit.
Saturday is a BUSY day in Cleveland. Cavs, Guards, and Supermotocross... all downtown. Unfortunately, this time of year is TOUGH to squeeze out a totally dry weekend. We'll be tracking waves of rain & storms, at times heavy, through Saturday afternoon and into the evening.
It looks like we could see a few t-showers & downpours around sunrise in our NW communities. How much rain we get in the morning will dictate the potential for severe weather. As of Friday evening, Saturday morning's rain does not look widespread, nor does it look to last all morning. Therefore, there should be enough instability or energy for potentially strong to severe storms in the afternoon.
Damage from wind gusts or large hail will be possible, along with heavy rain and lightning. An isolated tornado is also not off the table. We'll be watching all day! The best window for severe storms looks to be from 11 am to 5 pm, especially east of I-71. While the severe threat will drop by the evening, cold rain will linger Saturday night into Sunday.
Those storms will be ahead of a cold front that will usher in much colder temperatures by Saturday evening. We're talking 40s shortly after sunset, and we hold those 40s the rest of the weekend. We'll even be looking for a couple of wet flakes on Sunday! Plan for wintry temperatures on Monday as well before a new warm-up takes shape on Tuesday.
