CLEVELAND — Warm & muggy weather will be the rule tonight with low temperatures dropping into the 65 to 70 degree range by sunset. Clouds will move in and thicken up as well in many spots tonight.
We are turning up the heat a bit for Saturday. Highs in the middle and upper 80s will be common across Northern Ohio. Low pressure approaching from the southwest will spin in widely scattered showers and thunderstorms, mainly during the afternoon. The Storm Prediction Center out of Norman, Oklahoma has placed all of our area into a very small risk for severe storms during the afternoon and evening Saturday. Any storm could produce some brief damaging winds along with hail. Also, storms will be efficient rain-makers. So, watch for heavy rain and brief flash flooding where storms do occur. Stay alert!
Sunday stays warm with a few isolated storms during the afternoon. Highs top out between 80 & 85. A large area of wildfire smoke has migrated into parts of Michigan and is visible on satellite maps. Computer guidance suggests that this smoke will arrive in Northern Ohio late Sunday afternoon and continue into Monday. Those of you with respiratory issues will need to monitor this developing situation.
Unsettled weather continues into next week with scattered storms returning on Monday into Tuesday.
