Hot & Humid with Risk of Storms

Submitted by A.Hake, Web Producer

Tuesday, May 21st, 2013, 6:26am

A strong cold front continues to push closer to our area. The instability in the atmosphere will increase with the heat and humidity continuing to build in out ahead of the front. I expect scattered storms to develop later this morning into this afternoon. The storm threat will be with us through the middle of the week until this front moves through Thursday. Some of these storms could be strong to severe with the concern being heavy downpours, lightning, damaging wind gusts, hail and even an isolated tornado. The best threat for severe storms today will be west of Cleveland.

TODAY: Warm and humid with a few showers and t-storms this afternoon. Some of these storms could be strong and severe. High: 88 Wind: S at 5-15 mph.

TONIGHT: A few shower and storms. A few could be strong to severe. Low: 67 Wind: SW at 10-15 mph

WEDNESDAY: Mostly cloudy with scattered showers and t-storms. Threat of strong to severe storms. High: 86

Five-year-old Paul Clark Mayo fights for fitness. His style of fighting is known as Gung-Fu, a fusion of Chinese, Dutch, and African techniques. Paul is training to be in shape, as opposed to learning to fight. Gung-Fu focuses on the body mind connection, the physics of the body and the importance of preserving life as life is precious.

Family Caregiver Alliance: Hot weather tips

Submitted by mdynia on Monday, May 20th, 10:14 am

We all suffer in hot weather. However, for elderly and disabled people and those with chronic health conditions such as vascular disease or diabetes, the weather does not have to hit 100 degrees to cause heat stress or even deadly heat stroke.

Friend of the Week is a regular feature to introduce furry friends in the community who need loving and caring homes. Please help these deserving animals find their forever guardians or consider adopting an animal yourself. NFW East: Available for Adoption

NFW Challenge 2013: 421 / 460 Adoptions

“You gotta know it – it’s electric! Boogie woogie, woogie! Now you can’t hold it – it’s electric! Boogie woogie, woogie! But you know it’s there, yeah here, there, everywhere!" Chloe sure has got a love that is electric. You will feel it throughout your heart and home the moment you make her a part of your family. And, she is ready to dance through life with you too. Chloe loves attention so much; she will dance on her hind legs to get it.

Plain and simple, Chloe is known by all who meet her as a great dog who just needs a good home. She can be a little shy at first, especially at the shelter, until she gets to know you. But once she does, you will never meet a kinder, friendlier dog anywhere. She is so sweet and does love everyone she meets. Just like every dance party deserves a good Electric Slide, every family deserves a dog like Chloe. Her companionship is unmatched, and you can bring her home today.

To adopt Chloe, contact the Euclid Animal Shelter at 216-289-2057, email euclidpetpals@yahoo.com, or visit http://www.euclidpetpals.net/.

Ford First Alert Weekend Forecast

Submitted by A.Hake, Web Producer

Friday, May 17th, 2013, 7:10am

We've got a great looking Friday ahead. Mostly sunny skies to start out the day, a few high clouds building in this afternoon into tonight. The wind coming off of the lake this afternoon will provide cooler temps along the lakeshore. Saturday will start out dry, just a spotty t-storm will develop in the afternoon. I expect the Marathon forecast to be pleasant on Sunday with a race start temp around 60 with a partly cloudy sky.

TODAY: Mostly sunny. High: 71 Wind: Light becoming NE at 5-10 mph

TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy. Low: 53 Wind: E at 5-10 mph

SATURDAY: Partly cloudy with an isolated showers or t-storm in the afternoon. High: 75
