CLEVELAND — Don't leave the house without the extra layers! It was frigid this morning, and we will be chilly for April even this afternoon.

Average highs this time of year are in the upper 50s! We're nowhere near there today or any day the rest of this week. Most of us won't even see 50s. Early sun helps us rebound after a frigid start, but clouds are returning.

You will start to notice them this afternoon, and will greatly prevent our temperatures from warming. The highs will be in the upper 40s. Those clouds eventually lead to rain after sunset. By the way, the sunset is after 8 pm now!

Steady rain overnight and into the first half of Thursday will slow things early in the day. A few wet flakes could mix in as temperatures fall into the 30s. We should get breaks from the rain in the afternoon, but we'll still be tracking scattered rain.

The chill comes back Friday with a steady rebound all weekend. Expect temperatures in the low 40s Friday and Saturday, 50s return Sunday, and 60s likely return Monday! Hello Spring!

A nice bonus with the warming temperatures this weekend is that it looks mainly dry for both Saturday and Sunday.

Wednesday: Sun then clouds with rain overnight. | High: 49º
