Sky Drama
Wednesday’s squall line certainly gave us a number of dramatic moments from the shelf cloud ahead of the rain, to some sunset mammatus clouds, lightning, and double-rainbows. This image was from the near west side of Cleveland taken by one of my former weather interns, Lauren Hilko. Most of the lightning in the Cleveland […]
Moderate Risk
Our risk for severe weather this afternoon is quite high: Stay alert as this powerful line comes through. The animation below is 4 PM through 11 PM:
First 90°F Day

Warmth Coming
The warmth on Thursday and Friday will come at a showery, unstable price, but watch how a strong ridge of warmth pushes into Ohio at the end of next week. That’s when the warmth will be accomopanied by plenty of sunshine. Note that highs at 80°F or higher may arrive late next week! q
