CLEVELAND — More severe storms are possible tonight as a cold front slides southeast thru Ohio by the Thursday morning rush hour. All modes of severe weather will be possible meaning we will be watching for damaging wind gusts between 60 & 70 mph, hail, lightning, heavy rain that could lead to flash flooding along with weak, isolated tornadoes.

Once the cold front goes by Thursday morning, we will dry out for a while with very warm & muggy temperatures persisting through Thursday afternoon. Highs should reach into the middle and upper 80s. Temps AND humidity climb over the next several days. The hottest day of Summer so far looks to be Friday with highs climbing into the middle 90s. Feels-like temps could top 100 degrees during the afternoon when you factor in the humidity!!

Strong to severe storms will be possible again late on Friday night or early on Saturday. Humidity will take a dive by the weekend, making it feel more comfortable outside.
