CLEVELAND — It’s a cold start to the day! Temperatures dropped another 10 degrees from Thursday morning to this morning. However, a southerly wind of 10-15 mph will help push our afternoon temperatures into the lower and middle 60s.

Low pressure and a cold front is approaching the area today. Clouds will thicken ahead of the front Friday morning. The best chance for rain looks to be this morning, especially in the western half of our viewing area. Morning showers appear to be fading as they move west to east across the state.

As the front moves through the afternoon, I expect a few isolated rain showers to re-develop and could persist into this evening. These showers look pretty light and hit or miss – so not everyone will see and many of our high school football games will be dry. Friday night temperatures will drop into the 50s, so pack your warm fall gear!

Cooler weather is coming this weekend. Highs will be back in the 50s on Saturday and Sunday. Skies will be partly cloudy all weekend. Dress warm for Sunday’s Browns game. A few lake-effect showers can’t be ruled out, but 95% of the viewing area will remain dry all weekend.

Warmer weather returns next week, with temperatures warming back into the 70s by next Tuesday. Right now we’re expecting a few Halloween showers with mild temperatures in the 70s.

What to expect

• Isolated rain showers on Friday
• Highs in the mid 60s
