_____________________________
Heat will continue to build into northeast Ohio today. Expect temperature, by noon, to be in the middle 80s with highs in the lower 90s again. Along with the heat comes storms though. Any storms that do pop up will likely hold off until this afternoon. The unorganized nature with these storms will make is difficult to pinpoint location until they spark so we all need to be prepared. 

Closer to sunset, our storms will weaken and drift out of NE OH. Plan for a mainly dry evening with a partly cloudy sky. Temps will drop into the lower 70s by sunrise with increasing clouds overnight. Our next cold front will push through Sunday afternoon. Expect widespread storms with heavy rain and gusty winds starting around sunrise and lasting through early afternoon. 

The good news about early storms is that the likelihood of severe weather is relatively low. Most of the severe weather will hold off until the line moves into PA late afternoon. Behind the front we dry out and cool down. Temps will return to the lower 80s with low humidity through much of next week.
