CLEVELAND — We're abnormally dry, and our lawns, gardens and crops are in need of rain. We got some well-needed rain yesterday. We'll get more today, too. The difference is how much we get and how quickly it falls. Today's storms will be strong. Quick bursts of rain running over the same areas could be a recipe for localized flooding. Those downpours also tend to team up with damaging wind gusts. Lightning, heavy rain and damaging winds are our biggest focuses for today.
Timing will be important. We're great to start the day. Warm and muggy but no storms around us. We won't have storms around until midday. Enjoy the first half of the day as temps jump into the middle 80s. That heat will fuel the storms. I expect storms to build from 12-2p, strengthen through 6pm then finally slide out of Ohio this before sunset.Wednesday: More storms likely; some could be severe.| High: 83ºFriday: Partly sunny and much warmer.
