CLEVELAND — It was gorgeous on Friday, but all of that heat, and eventually humidity, isn't all sunshine and rainbows. It's more fuel for thunderstorms. A strong storm system is tracking across the US this weekend, bringing rounds of rain and storms to NEO.
After a morning round of storms, you should get some dry time Saturday afternoon before more widespread and heavier rain arrives by Saturday evening and into Saturday night. We will watch for any strong or severe storms for a few hours this evening.
Make sure you have a way to get alerts while you're out and about. It'll be warm and windy between the rounds of storms. For a detailed breakdown of the storms this weekend...click this link.
We will be watching for damaging wind gusts with storms, but it will be windy no matter what. A wind advisory has been issued for several communities. Gusts over 45 mph will be possible.
We're soaked Sunday, especially early, but St. Patrick's Day looks dry! Fairly seasonable for mid-March, too! Grab your green coat for the parade and plan for temps in the 40s.
