Ohio – Rain taps steadily on windshields and dark clouds hover over Lake Erie as storms begin to move into Cleveland, setting up slick roads and reduced visibility within the next few hours.
According to the National Weather Service, showers are likely through midday with storm chances increasing into the afternoon and evening. Rain coverage reaches 60% today, with thunderstorms possible after midday and again later tonight, pushing totals higher and extending impacts into the evening commute.
Across northeast Ohio and into northwest Pennsylvania, roads along I-90, I-71, and the Shoreway will turn wet quickly during heavier bursts. Visibility may drop below a mile at times. Gusty winds near storms could reach over 20 mph, nudging vehicles on open stretches near the lake.
Cleveland warms into the mid-70s before another round of storms develops tonight. Showers continue into Friday, with additional thunderstorms possible and rain chances climbing to 70–80%. Expect repeated wet pavement and slower travel, especially during peak drive times.
The first weekend of April stays unsettled. Showers remain likely Saturday, followed by a sharp cooldown into Sunday with highs falling into the upper 40s. Roads may dry briefly, but lingering moisture and cooler air could create damp, chilly conditions.
Looking ahead, early next week trends calmer with partial sunshine and highs near 50. Another weak system could bring light rain late Monday.
