CLEVELAND — WIND ADVISORY from 11 am to 4 pm Thursday for Northern Ashtabula, Lake, Cuyahoga, Lorain, Medina, Ashland, Richland, Erie, Huron, Sandusky, Seneca & Ottawa Counties. Wind gusts of 40 to 50 mph can be expected.

Clouds will increase and thicken up overnight. Low temperatures will drop into the mid and upper 20s by sunrise.

Thursday's precip looks to be mainly rain, especially during the late morning to mid-afternoon, as a cold front jets across the area. Pockets of heavy rain will be possible with gusty winds over 40 mph. A wind advisory has been issued for a few hours on Thursday when the strongest winds are expected. The system will briefly warm us up on Thursday. Plan for highs in the mid to upper 40s. A few of our far-southern counties could top out near 50 degrees. Temps drop swiftly into Friday, with highs only around freezing. With the colder temps, there will be a couple of chances for snow showers on Friday and Saturday. Any accumulation looks to be minor.

After a cold weekend, temperatures are expected to climb above average early next week.

What To Expect:

  • Clouding up tonight
  • Lows in the 20s
  • Wind Advisory Thursday
  • Scattered rain on Thursday
  • Colder air settling in Friday & Saturday
  • Some light snow Friday night & Saturday
