CLEVELAND — A weak cold front will try to sneak across Lake Erie tonight and stall across the Lake Shore counties for Friday. You won't notice the front. It will stay quiet and warm all night long. Skies will be partly cloudy with low temperatures near 70 degrees.

With a stalled front near the lake shore on Friday, temperatures across the shoreline counties will stay in the 80s during the day. South of the front, we are back into the lower 90s. The humidity will remain high as well for a 5th straight day. I also expect an isolated thunderstorm or two to develop along the stalled front, mainly from Youngstown to Akron & Canton west to Mansfield during the heat of the afternoon.

Saturday, the front shifts back north. So we are all in the muggy soup again. Highs in the lower and middle 90s will be common with intense humidity and isolated afternoon storms. The next best chance for rain holds off until Sunday, with more seasonable temperatures returning on Monday.

Stay cool!

What To Expect:

  • Heat Advisory through Saturday evening
  • Afternoons lower & middle 90sº
  • Mornings/nights in the 70s
  • A few afternoon storms each day
  • Some storms with heavy rain/strong winds/hail
  • Some relief by Sunday and Monday

Daily Breakdown:

Thursday Night: Warm & muggy.| Low: 73º

Friday: Hazy, Hot, Humid! A few storms.| High: 89º
