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

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.

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

Rain arriving this morning out ahead of a cold front will continue to push from west to east. Expect the colder air to settle in this afternoon with temperatures dropping to the mid-40s by 5pm. A few showers, which could be mixed with a few snow showers overnight into early Saturday will be short lived before dry air holds this weekend.
