CLEVELAND — It's a bit of a mixed bag to start the week.
A few light showers are possible this morning, but much of the midday hours stay dry with mostly cloudy skies. Temps climb into the mid-80s this afternoon.
Don't put the umbrella too far away, though. A few showers pop up later today, and some spots will be wet again for the evening commute.
Rain chances increase again tonight and linger into early Tuesday morning. Tuesday morning's rain could be heavier with more thunder/lightning.
After that, the heat builds.
Tuesday pushes close to 90°, and we're into the low 90s Wednesday with only isolated showers and storms around. The pattern turns more active later in the week with better rain chances Thursday and Friday.
The good news? A cooler air mass looks set to arrive for the holiday weekend.

The best shot at rain this morning is across the West & South Regions. We'll include the Akron-Canton Region also. These showers should stay light, but we'll still have to run the wipers from time to time. We'll dry out after the morning commute before temps soar!
