HURON COUNTY, Ohio — This will be a busy weekend of weather! The best way to remember all of the changing conditions is with these three Ws: Windy, warm and wet. I will break down each below!

WINDY:

A few days ago the winds were basically non existent, but over the last day winds have increased and will continue to get stronger into the weekend. Winds will be out of the south at 20-30 mph with gusts up to 50 mph! Strong winds will blow around unsecured objects including decorations, tree limbs and could cause power outages. Be careful on the roads - it will be more difficult to drive on the highways especially any west to east orientated freeway such as I-90. The strongest winds will be in our northwestern communities.

Therefore, The National Weather Service issued a Wind Advisory for multiple counties on Saturday in Ohio. The advisory is in place from 11 a.m. until 9 p.m. for the following counties:

Huron County
Ashland County
Richland County
Erie County
Lorain County

WINDY WEEKEND: A wind advisory has been issued for NW Ohio for Saturday from 11 am until 9 pm. Winds will be out of the south at 20-30 mph with gusts up to 50 mph! Strong winds will blow around unsecured objects including decorations, tree limbs and cause power outages. pic.twitter.com/yCIjgBdKJI

WARM:

It has been very mild over the last two weeks! Highs reached the upper 60s to low 70s on Friday and will likely climb a few degrees more on Saturday. We could even potentially break a record! The current record for November 5th is 76 degrees set back in 2015. As of Friday afternoon, that is the forecast for Cleveland! If we reach 76 degrees we will tie it and it we get any warmer - we will smash that record! Once the cold front moves through Saturday night, temperatures will drop a bit on Sunday. BUT temps only fall to the mid and upper 60s - that is still above average for early November!

WET:

Windy conditions on Saturday afternoon before a previously mentioned cold front. The front will slide through late Saturday and into early Sunday. Showers and isolated storms will be likely Saturday PM & early on Sunday. This is also when strong to severe storms are possible. Showers look possible in our far western communities after 2 pm, but the best chance for rain looks to be from 6 pm - 3 am. Heavy rain will be possible at times, but most locations should receive less than 0.25 inches.

I will be updating this article as need over the duration of the weekend. The image below is a summary of everything we discussed in this article. Stay safe!
