CLEVELAND — We're looking great today! It's chilly along the lakeshore but seasonable. There will be a huge range in the temperatures today. Temps along the lakeshore will be in the 30s/40s with 60s inland away from the lake. We can thank a lake breeze for that! A lake breeze develops when the land becomes warmer than the water. The warm air over land rises and is replaced by the relatively cool air that resides immediately above the lake's surface.
Otherwise, we will all see tons of sunshine with a few clouds tonight as temperatures fall into the 30s. If you are setting your alarm to see the Lunar Eclipse, a few high clouds should not ruin the show. Totality is from about 2:30 a.m. to 3:30 a.m.
Friday is the pick of the week! Southerly winds return tomorrow and we all should reach the lower 70s on Friday and we stay dry with increasing clouds Friday night, preventing our temperatures from dropping very much Friday night/Saturday morning.
The next best chance for rain and storms is this weekend. Plan for on-and-off rain and storms Saturday and early Sunday. We will monitor the potential for stronger storms by Saturday afternoon and evening.
St. Patrick's Day looks much cooler - but fairly seasonable for mid-March! Grab your green coat for the parade!
