CLEVELAND — Intense heat is settling in to our west for Wednesday. The "Heat Dome" is a dome of high pressure. Sinking air and little to no wind causing temps to SOAR. We'll get in on some of that starting Thursday.
In the meantime, waves of thunderstorms will slide up and over the top of the heat dome and drop southeast into Ohio beginning Wednesday morning and lingering into early Friday morning. A few storms Wednesday night, Thursday afternoon and Thursday night could become severe with heavy rain and brief damaging wind gusts.
Skies will be partly cloudy overnight with lows near 60 degrees by sunrise. Tomorrow we jump into the lower & middle 80s. A line of weaker thundershowers will slide south into Northern Ohio by late morning early afternoon. A few more isolated thunderstorms are possible east of Interstate 77 by late afternoon.
Another round of storms will move into Ohio after midnight early Thursday morning. One or two of those storm could be severe. Thursday heats up with high humidity & highs near 90 degrees. Feels like temperatures could be closer to 100 degrees.
A cold front will slide into the area Thursday night bringing another round of strong storms. Friday looks a bit cooler with highs near 80 and isolated morning showers. Be safe and plan ahead for the heat and storms.

- Partly cloudy tonight
