CLEVELAND — It will feel like the 90s today. All of that heat and humidity will provide a ripe atmosphere for the return of scattered storms today and Tuesday. Some storms could become strong or severe.
The strongest storms will be farther west, closer to the cold front today. I still can't rule out an isolated severe (damaging) thunderstorm in the green area. The main threat for damage is strong winds, but hail, lightning, and especially heavy rain will be possible as well. The tornado risk is not zero, but low for Monday and Tuesday.
We're starting off SUPER muggy with a few t-showers west. Plan for storms to pick up in coverage and intensity during the afternoon. It looks like there will be rounds of storms with dry periods between storms. Storms become widespread by Monday night and into early on Tuesday. One final round of storms will precede the cold front Tuesday afternoon. Storms will end from west to east by the end of Tuesday. Scroll through the images of Futurecast to get an idea about the timing and coverage of storms for Monday and Tuesday.
Following the storms and cold front, it will not be as hot Tuesday or Wednesday. Then, a secondary cold front will swiftly roll through mid-week, dropping temperatures even more into the low 70s. The cool-down is brief! Notice that the temperatures start to increase again by Labor Day weekend.
