CLEVELAND - 11:30 pm Update: High pressure will build in across Ohio, setting the stage for another clear but chilly overnight. Lows will once again bottom out between 40 & 45 degrees. Isolated spots could even see upper 30s again.

High pressure will slide quickly east of us early Thursday. A weak cold front will drop in during the afternoon. A few clouds will accompany the front, but, with limited moisture, we should all stay dry. Highs will climb up into the lower 70s.

Another cold front drops in late Friday and Saturday. Isolated rain showers are possible Friday ahead of the front. High temperatures will climb back into the lower 70s.

Scattered rain showers are likely Saturday with highs in the middle 60s. Isolated Lake Effect showers are possible on Sunday for the Browns game. Highs near 60 degrees.
