Cleveland, OH – Severe thunderstorms with damaging wind gusts are possible across Ohio this Saturday afternoon and early evening as a cold front moves through the region.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS) Cleveland, the threat level remains low due to expected morning rain and abundant cloud cover, which could limit the instability needed for storm development. However, if conditions allow, storms could bring strong winds, heavy rain, and lightning.
The highest risk areas include northern and central Ohio, with cities such as Cleveland, Toledo, and Akron under a slight risk for severe weather. Storm activity is expected to peak between the afternoon and early evening hours before tapering off as cooler air moves in behind the front.
Residents are advised to stay updated on the latest forecasts and be prepared for changing conditions. The NWS recommends checking local alerts, having a weather safety plan, and knowing safe locations in case severe storms develop.
