CLEVELAND — Get ready for another round of rain. This afternoon's rain could be heavier with much stronger winds. I can't rule out gusts as high as 40 to 50 mph in addition to an occasional rumble of thunder. Rain should taper off around sunset as we shift our focus over to a QUICK temperature drop. Temperatures will be in the lower 40s and even upper 30s by early evening.
The coldest air arrives after the rain. Winds should relax after midnight into Thursday dropping temps into the 30s for highs, along with rain and snow flying by the morning commute. Accumulations Thursday will be light. Warm ground, warm air, rain and slush will all work against any hope of snow piling up. Still, roads could be slick starting Thursday morning through Saturday.
