Cleveland, Ohio – Storms may disrupt Tuesday afternoon plans across northern Ohio as another round of summer weather pushes into the region. Cleveland commuters and residents should expect showers and thunderstorms between 11 a.m. and 6 p.m., with the greatest chance of heavy rainfall and gusty winds from 2 to 4 p.m.
According to the National Weather Service in Cleveland, localized flooding is possible if storms train over the same areas. A few stronger cells may also bring wind gusts up to 40 mph, especially near Lake Erie and across Cuyahoga, Ashtabula, and Erie counties. Motorists along I-90 and I-71 should remain alert for ponding and low visibility during the evening drive.
Rain chances taper off overnight, with calmer weather expected Wednesday and Thursday. Highs will reach the mid-80s midweek before summer heat returns for the weekend. Storm chances ramp up again by Friday evening, especially in inland areas such as Medina and Summit counties.
