CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – A warm front is crossing through Northeast Ohio today which is aiding in more humidity as well as an increased chance for rain and storms.
We have been monitoring storms out over Lake Erie this afternoon as a better potential for our lakeshore communities to see scattered rain and rumbles through the afternoon.

In general, we do not anticipate storms to turn strong to severe this afternoon across Northeast Ohio. One or two storms could certainly produce tropical downpours and lightning along with some gusty winds, but the overall severe risk is low today.
These storms will gradually slide from north to south across the viewing area this afternoon and evening. Activity will begin to wind down around sunset.

Some lingering rain showers will be possible Monday as the front continues to clear the region. At this time, it looks like temperatures maintain seasonable standards into early next week.
