Thanks to a clear sky and little to no wind overnight last night we have dropped to near freezing in some places this morning. Grab the coats as you head out the door today but you may want to pack an extra change of clothes for the afternoon. Bright sunshine will heat us into the 60s by noon with highs near 70 today! 
With the heat, comes moisture. Looks like a few isolated storms are possible closer to our evening commute and sunset. A warm front will push north through Ohio this evening and overnight bringing widespread storms while you're sleeping. The warm front will stall out over the lake so storms could linger north of rt 224 throughout the first half of our Tuesday.
We do dry out and warm temps even more for Wednesday and Thursday with middle 70s back in the forecast. Enjoy the warmth while it's here because our next cold front will drop temps back to below normal for the weekend.
