CLEVELAND —
Northeast Ohio Weather: One More Round of Storms Before a Big Change
Storm chances ramp up again today as another round of thunderstorms develops from midday into the afternoon. Some of these storms could become strong, with damaging winds the main concern.
Temps climb into the lower 80s with high humidity, giving storms plenty of fuel to work with. If you have outdoor plans, keep an eye on the forecast and be ready to head inside if storms approach.
Power of 5 Regions Spotlight: South Region
The South Region has the best chance of seeing stronger storms this afternoon and evening. Damaging wind gusts are the primary threat, but heavy downpours and frequent lightning are also possible. Have a way to receive weather alerts, especially if you'll be outside later today.
The Good News
Today's storms mark the final significant impact from this stalled boundary that's been parked across the region. A much more comfortable air mass moves in tomorrow, bringing lower humidity and a break from the stormy pattern.
Even better, next week is shaping up to feel more like September than August. Expect several days with highs in the 70s, making for a comfortable start to the first full week of school for many students across Northeast Ohio.
