CLEVELAND — Quiet weather continues tonight with low temperatures in the 50s for most locations. Cloud cover will be limited to a few high, thin cirrus clouds again tonight, so Star Gazers will rejoice!

We'll make a run at 80 degrees again tomorrow for much of the area. Sunshine will be the rule during the morning hours with a few more clouds spreading in during the afternoon from the south. Inland counties will have now trouble popping into the lower 80s again Friday afternoon. The Akron/Canton Airport could even get close to tying a record high for the day of 83 degrees (from 1941). Cleveland will get close to 80 by early afternoon. But an expected lake breeze will slide south a dozen or so miles during the afternoon, cooler parts of the lake shore counties through the 70s during the afternoon.

A few rain showers and rumbles of thunder are expected by Saturday during the mid to late afternoon hours. We will still be warm in the middle 70s.

There is a better shot for rain on Sunday. We might even have to deal with a couple of strong thunderstorms during the afternoon as highs, once again top out in the middle and upper 70s.

You will need warmer coats again to begin next work week. Below average temperatures return early next week. A few flakes may even be possible by early Tuesday morning! Brrrr.
