Tracking scattered rain and storms: Cleveland weather forecast for August 28, 2024

All right, weather wise today, we do have weather impacts and that's gonna be for a wet morning commute for a lot of you live. Look outside right now. No rain downtown right now. It's not far off. You just head out over Lake Erie. You can see some of the lightning flashing, uh, just off the coast of Lorraine County. We've got some rain. You've already had a little bit of rain this morning, but we're watching, uh, really the second round of storms coming off the lake in the last 12 hours. We had that one last night that produced some strong winds as well. So your morning rush hour and your day today is going to be filled with some rain here this morning, mainly early in the day. I have a feeling a lot of this is going to clear out as we get towards afternoon. It's still going to be warm and humid today. But we're done with that soaring heat that we had yesterday made it up into the mid nineties across northeast Ohio. So, here's the storms that are coming across the lake. I know it looks extremely ominous. That's just because there's heavy rain with it. That's why the Reds show up on radar. Yes, we do have some lightning. There's nothing severe with us so we may get a stronger thunderstorm or two here this morning as it sinks south. But overall it's a rain story with some real good downpours coming off the lake. Not a lot over land yet. We do have some rain just to the east of, uh, North Fairfield there, Heartland getting some rain right now. Uh This will eventually get into areas of Southern Lorraine County, northern Lorraine County, picking up some rain near Amherst right now, this is right along the turnpike and then we've got the heavier stuff with some lightning, good lightning show on going out over the lake. This will eventually make its way into Avon Lake and then perhaps out towards the west side of Cleveland. As we get in the Bay Village, Rocky River area, we've still got a little bit of time, but I would imagine this is gonna continue to sink south and bring a pretty wet morning rush hour across the Greater Cleveland area. And then eventually down towards the south, you could see it was an active night across areas of Indiana and Illinois. This is all along a frontal boundary, that frontal boundary is trying to push cooler air down into this heat and humidity and as it does so we've seen storms blossom as expected over the last 24 hours for today. As that frontal boundary makes its way. South storm prediction center saying we've got a real good risk of severe weather across northeast Ohio. We get a morning update on this and I wouldn't be surprised if they updated this and kind of took this out. I'm not really buying the big severe weather chances. Today, we'll see what happens as we go throughout the morning. But, uh, this is just a really tricky pattern. There's no model help whatsoever. In fact, our own in house models and all the models of weather service uses doesn't even have the rain on us this morning. So, uh, we're kind of doing it by experience and that's how I think things will out today with that rain sinking south. But the severe weather threat to me looks low. All that heat is getting tried to, you know, get shoved down to the south a little bit further as a result, those heat alerts we had yesterday, they're down towards Columbus and down towards Cincinnati as well. All right, here we go. Temperatures this morning in the seventies. It's a muggy start as you're getting the kids ready for school. Yes, umbrella boots will be needed with some of that rain this morning should get drier by afternoon. And in terms of the humidity, we're not saying goodbye to it till Saturday at this point. So we're gonna stay with the mugginess around here until Saturday, National Designer Hour by our forecast. It has no rain on here this morning when a model starts and it doesn't have what's happening right now. It means the rest of it's not, probably, it probably not gonna be right. Ok. So the way I see it playing out in my head, that rain this morning will sink down to the south. We'll have clouds that linger for much of the day and then we'll break into sunshine this afternoon with just a few pop ups. Should make it in the mid eighties this afternoon. Overall, I do think much of the afternoon is going to be drier though. All right, that's me on a little stool here to say that by myself with no help with, with the guidance behind me Royals taking on the guardians who in the eighties today, I do think we'll have an isolated storm chance, but we should be good for that game. All right. Long ranger. Let's take a look at that Labor Day weekend because it looks good at this point. Storm chances linger tomorrow, Friday. I think we spend much of the day dry with the front off towards our west. That front is slower on today's model run. So we're going to keep storms in the forecast on Saturday. Clearing out late in the day, Sunday looks good with another front coming in with some more rain Sunday night and a Monday morning. That is the game changer front that's gonna bring in a much, much cooler Labor Day and look at the humidity tropical through Friday. Saturday is our day of change and then it turns just downright comfortable again for Labor Day Union. How mortgage seven day forecast? We get hot out ahead of that front on Friday. There's your storm chances Saturday before we cool down. Maybe not out of the sixties on Monday, Denita.
