CLEVELAND — After some severe storms for our West and South regions earlier Thursday evening, the severe threat is over. An isolated shower can't be ruled out overnight, and a few more showers are expected during the day Thursday. Key word: showers. Not storms. No severe risk is good news, albeit some after-school plans are in jeopardy, depending on region. Explained more below...
