CLEVELAND — It will remain chilly tonight with temperatures in the upper 30s and low 40s. After a chilly morning, temperatures start to climb by Friday afternoon. Plan for temperatures in the low 60s on Friday and upper 60s to even low 70s on Saturday!

However, we are going to be tracking waves of rain and storms over the weekend. A couple of showers cannot be ruled out tonight/early Friday. These look isolated and light, but they start the trend of on-and-off rain for the weekend.

Friday, Saturday, and Sunday all have a chance for rain, but it will not rain nonstop. Rain is expected to increase throughout Friday afternoon and evening and continue into very early Saturday morning. Showers should exit before the sun comes up on Saturday. It looks like we should have several hours of dry time for the rest of Saturday morning and early afternoon before another round of rain/storms moves through by the late afternoon and early evening on Saturday. We will be watching for any stronger storms during this timeframe.

As a cold front swings through by Mother's Day, showers will continue to be possible on Sunday. Exact timing and placement of the rain is still up for debate at this time, but this front will also bring the return of chilly temperatures. Afternoon temps look to get stuck in the 50s for Mother's Day, which is running 15 to 20 degrees below what is typical for this time of the year.

DAILY FORECAST:

Thursday Night: Isolated showers possible. Still chilly | Low: 42º

Friday: A few showers are possible in the morning & again at night. Not as chilly. | High: 61º

Saturday: Warmer. On and off t-storms. | High: 69º

Sunday: A few showers, MUCH cooler. | High: 53º

Monday: Still cool. Isolated showers. | High: 56º
