CLEVELAND — HOTOBER! Highs on Friday got into the low and even middle 80s. While not record heat, it is getting pretty close to it, especially later this weekend.
It continues to heat up this weekend, with highs soaring from the low 80s to even the mid-80s, especially west of areas like Elyria and Norwalk.
Despite the lower sun angle, make sure to stay protected with sunscreen; sunburns are still possible this time of year within an hour of direct exposure.
I know, it's October and feels like July, but we will get there.... and soon!
Our stretch of dry days will finally come to an end on Tuesday. Plan on scattered rain on Tuesday and Wednesday, followed by much cooler air mid-week. We actually look to fall BELOW average by then! The storms on Tuesday afternoon could be strong to severe. Stay tuned for updates.
