Cleveland wakes Friday to dry conditions. The calm weather will be short-lived, with rain chances increasing Saturday and a wetter pattern settling in over the weekend.
Friday Offers One More Dry Outdoor Window
The National Weather Service discussion calls for dry conditions through Friday evening and mentions northeast winds of 15 to 20 knots late Thursday night into Friday morning. Along the Lake Erie shoreline, those winds could make the water choppy and create a higher rip-current risk through late morning, so swimmers and small boats should use extra caution, according to the National Weather Service.
Saturday Starts Quiet, Then The Rain Moves In
Precipitation chances return overnight Friday into Saturday. Low pressure is expected to pass near or south of Lake Erie Saturday night, while heavy rainfall remains a concern over the weekend.
Heavy Rain Threat Builds Sunday
Heavy rainfall and flooding concerns extend from Saturday into Sunday; no watches or warnings are currently posted in the forecast report.
Cooler, Damp Weather Lingers Into Next Week
The available outlook extends into early next week: the aviation outlook runs through Monday, while the marine discussion extends into Tuesday and mentions possible gusts up to 30 knots Sunday through Tuesday.
