Cleveland wakes today to mostly cloudy skies and temperatures around 70 degrees before sunshine and summer heat push the high near 87. Most of the city should stay dry, with only a few isolated showers possible inland this afternoon.

According to the National Weather Service in Cleveland, there are no watches, warnings, or advisories in effect for the city. Winds should remain generally light through the day, while humidity eases a bit during the afternoon.

Friday Is The Easy Part

Tonight will turn mostly cloudy, with a low around 73 and only a 5% chance of rain. Tomorrow starts fairly quietly as well, but the odds of a shower or thunderstorm rise after about 3 p.m., with a high near 85 and a 20% chance of precipitation.

Storms Arrive Saturday Night

The weekend's bigger weather concern arrives tomorrow night, when the chance of showers and thunderstorms jumps to 90%. Sunday is expected to remain cloudy and stormy, with another 90% rain chance, a high near 81 and possible rainfall totals of a quarter to a half-inch.

Repeated thunderstorms could produce locally heavy rain and ponding or flash flooding in spots, especially if storms move over the same areas. Tomorrow afternoon currently looks like the better window for outdoor plans, while Sunday is shaping up as the day to keep an eye on the radar.

Quieter Start To Next Week

Rain chances fall sharply Monday and Tuesday, though a few afternoon thunderstorms remain possible. Highs should stay near 80 on Monday and 81 on Tuesday before scattered showers and storms return Wednesday and Thursday, when highs reach the low to mid-80s.
