Northeast Ohio weather: Dry start to weekend; showers, storms return Sunday

CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – Sunshine and southerly winds have delivered for your Saturday, allowing temperatures to surge back into the middle and upper 80s!

Unfortunately, these nice conditions aren’t expected to last too long, though.

Showers and thunderstorms will begin working into the area later in the morning hours of tomorrow.

Thunderstorms will become more widespread along a cold front that should work through the area during the afternoon hours of tomorrow.

Not a whole lot of energy will be available for severe thunderstorms, at least over northeastern Ohio.

Severe weather will be likely, though over Pennsylvania and upstate New York.

Things will clear out by tomorrow evening and night, as temps plummet back into the 50s and 60s.

High pressure will set in for the day on Monday, allowing sunshine to return, along with nice temps into the low to mid 70s.

Dry conditions are expected to remain in place through the middle of next week, until our nest system rolls in during the day on Thursday.

This will slide through the area during the overnight Wednesday night into Thursday morning, driving in the development of more showers and thunderstorms.

These storms should linger into Thursday morning.

In the meantime, gusty winds to 40 or 45 mph will be in place for the morning hours of Thursday as well.

Because of this, a 19 First Alert Weather Day is in place for Thursday.

Better conditions will push in, as high pressure takes control going into Father’s day weekend.
