CLEVELAND — We are stringing together several days of warm, dry weather for Northern Ohio.

This also means our dry ground is staying dry. The drought will continue to worsen over the coming weeks.

We're dry all week with only a few high clouds toward the weekend. Tropical Storm Francine will continue to slide north out of the New Orleans Area and weaken rapidly. It looks like we'll have zero impacts from Francine as she fades away over the Middle Mississippi Valley Friday & Saturday.

Plan on filtered sun on Thursday with increasing clouds on Friday. There will still be plenty of sun and dry weather which will keep temps in the 80s all week - which is way above average for this time of the year. Saturday and Sunday also look warm and dry with highs both days in the middle 80s.

The next chance for rain is late next Tuesday into Wednesday with a few thundershowers moving in.

What To Expect:

  • Dry & mild tonight
  • Warm temperatures this week
  • Great sun all week
  • Dry all week
  • More clouds to end the week
  • Drought likely to worsen
