CLEVELAND — A cluster of early afternoon storms near Toledo may hold, giving areas west of Cleveland some Friday afternoon pop-up storms.

News 5 Meteorologist Frank Marzullo was live this afternoon with updates:

Temps soaring to near 90º both today and again tomorrow. We may even be a couple of degrees hotter on Saturday. That's with a breezier southwest wind. Stay cool and hydrated!

The heat plus added humidity will fuel our storm chances this weekend. There's only an isolated storm threat today, but a few more will roll in Saturday afternoon. Those could be strong. The strongest storms could produce damage from straight-line winds. I can't rule out power outages or damage from debris. Possibly even a brief tornado, although that threat is low.

By Sunday, it looks like a bunch of rain. The damage threat is lower, but the coverage is even higher. Most, if not all, of us are wet on Sunday before drying out heading into Monday.

DAILY FORECAST:

Friday: Drier and warmer, afternoon and early evening pop-up storms possible.| High: 88º

Saturday: Hot and humid with storms returning late in the day, after 2 p.m. | High: 92º

Sunday: Scattered storms. | High: 84º

Monday: More sunshine. | High: 82º

Tuesday: Hotter! | High: 87º
