Forecast: Dry Saturday, rain likely again Sunday

CLEVELAND - 10:00 pm Update: Main area of rain has pulled to the east of Ohio. All that's left now is one or two isolated sprinkles. Will go with a dry overnight forecast under a partly to mostly cloudy sky. Temperatures will stay mild. So, you won't need your winter coats. Lows will drop into the upper 40s.

More mild air moves in for Saturday. High temperatures will climb into the lower 60s during the day with am mix of clouds and sunshine. Next batch of rain is forecast to arrive after dark Saturday.

Heavy rain is possible during the day on Sunday ahead of a strong cold front that will arrive during the day. Morning temperatures could touch 50 degrees, but I would expect falling temperatures during the afternoon.

Colder air moves back in for the rest of next week and beyond as winter returns to Ohio. Highs will be in the 30s Monday thru Thursday. Keep an eye on next weekend. With a big shot of arctic air building just to our north, we could see some of the coldest air in several years.
