CLEVELAND — All is calm! Tonight will be quiet with mostly cloudy skies and temps falling into the mid and upper 30s. Temps continue to climb tomorrow and 50s likely starting on Friday and into the weekend. Unfortunately, the warmth comes with rain.

We can get outside without the gloves and scarves but don't forget to plan around the rain this weekend. Our best shot at rain comes in Sunday but I still can't rule out a few showers both Friday and again Saturday.

The daytime hours on Friday look dry, but after the sun goes down a few showers will be possible. With more clouds and rain, temps look to barely drop Friday night. Spotty showers that will be on and off are expected for Saturday, but widespread and heavier rain is expected on Sunday. The highest chance for rain should be during the first half of Sunday with a gradual decrease in coverage by Sunday evening and into Monday.

The cold comes back just after the new year. A wintry looks possible for New Year's Eve into the first of the year.
