Cleveland, Ohio – Rain across northeast Ohio and freezing rain in northwest Pennsylvania are expected to exit by late Friday evening, setting up a quiet start to the weekend.
According to the National Weather Service office in Cleveland, leftover rain over northeast Ohio and freezing rain affecting parts of northwest Pennsylvania will move out Friday night.
