CLEVELAND — The risk for severe thunderstorms will increase late Tuesday afternoon through Tuesday evening.

We will stay dry tonight with partly to mostly cloudy skies and low temperatures dropping down to near 50 degrees. That's a bit cool for the kiddos at the bus stop. So, make sure they grab a coat. A warm front will approach the area from the south during the day. We should see temperatures climb up to between 75 & 80 degrees during the afternoon with partly to mostly cloudy skies. A weakening line of storm will arrive from the west after 3 pm. A line of strong to severe storms will move in from the west after 8 pm. Any of those storms could contain damaging winds and large hail. Stay alert.

Wednesday looks dry and warm with highs in the 70s. More showers and possible thunderstorms return for Thursday and Friday. Much cooler air settles in for Mother's Day weekend, with highs in the lower 60s Saturday and Sunday. I cant rule out a couple of rain showers this weekend as well.

What To Expect:

  • Cool & dry tonight
  • Stronger, more widespread storms late Tuesday
  • Staying wet & active all week
  • Cooler for Mother's Day
