CLEVELAND — Today was soaked! One to two inches of rain have fallen across NEO over the last day as a low-pressure system churns right over NEO. As this low pressure pulls away from the region, rain will slowly taper off tonight and into Friday morning. Rain will take the longest to clear in our easternmost communities. Meanwhile, clouds will be trying to clear in our southern and western communities. This disparity between rain/clouds and clearing clouds across the viewing area will result in a wide temperature range overnight/Friday morning (low to mid 30s where it clears to the mid and upper 40s where the clouds linger).
Rain chances come way down on Friday; however, the rain chance is not zero either. As previously mentioned, a few lingering showers are expected on Halloween morning in our eastern cities, but it will be significantly drier than on Thursday for much of the day!
There will likely even be some sun! We cannot rule out a couple of isolated showers for trick-or-treating, but the better potential for lake-effect showers looks to hold off until after 9 or 10 pm on Friday. Keep in mind, it will be chilly and blustery for Halloween night with temperatures in the 40s but wind chills in the 30s.
This weekend will feature a couple more showers. The rain looks widely scattered on Saturday, and it is only a slim shot on Sunday. Highs will be slightly below average to start November, with temps in the low and mid 50s.
Reminder: The time change is this weekend. We "fall back" on Sunday at 2 am. The sunset will be around 5:20 pm on Sunday. Winter is coming!
