Residents in Northeast Ohio can expect a wet start to the week, with early morning thunderstorms potentially causing delays on Tuesday. However, drier and warmer weather will take over by midweek, leading into a hot weekend.
Thunderstorms and Wet Roads on Tuesday
The National Weather Service in Cleveland reports that isolated thunderstorms will affect the region early Tuesday, likely causing wet and slick roads, especially in low-lying or poorly drained areas. These storms are expected to clear out by midday, giving way to dry weather for the rest of the week.
Rising Temperatures and Dry Weather Ahead
After the morning storms clear, the weather will remain dry and stable throughout the week. Temperatures will gradually rise from the low-to-mid 80s on Tuesday to the low 90s by the weekend. This shift marks the arrival of summer heat in the Cleveland area, making for a sunny and warm period perfect for outdoor activities and events.
Heat Advisory: Stay Safe in Rising Temperatures
As the heat climbs, residents should stay hydrated and limit outdoor activities during peak heat hours. Lows overnight will remain in the mild 60s, providing some relief during the evenings. It’s also important to check on vulnerable individuals, such as elderly neighbors, and pets, as high temperatures can be especially dangerous for them.
