CLEVELAND —
Stormy Pattern Sticks Around Through Midweek
Scattered storms this morning will move in from the west and should push out of the area around midday. Once those storms wrap up, many of us get a few hours of dry weather before the atmosphere reloads for another round late this afternoon and evening.
The greatest threat for damaging storms looks to be across the South Region and Akron-Canton Region, but nobody is completely off the hook. Any region could see a strong storm develop later today.
This is a difficult forecast pattern to pin down. A stalled front is sitting nearby, and several waves of energy will ride along it through today, Tuesday, and possibly Wednesday. That means we'll be watching for multiple rounds of storms, some of which could turn strong with heavy rain, gusty winds, and frequent lightning.
Power of 5 Region Spotlight: West Region
The West Region will likely be the first to see each round of storms as they move in from Indiana and western Ohio. That means the highest rain totals may end up here, especially if storms repeatedly track over the same locations. Keep an eye on changing weather through the day and be prepared for brief periods of heavy rain and reduced visibility.
