Cleveland, OH – Northeast Ohio is in for a stretch of hot, humid weather today and tomorrow, with temperatures pushing toward 90 degrees and a chance of storms developing late Tuesday as a weather front moves in.
Hot and Humid Start to the Week
Forecasters say a sunny sky will dominate today, with afternoon highs near 90 degrees making for a sweltering start to the week. Light winds will do little to ease the sticky conditions across the region.
Tonight, skies are expected to remain partly cloudy, allowing temperatures to drop only slightly, keeping overnight lows warm and muggy.
Slight Storm Risk Builds for Tuesday
Tomorrow will bring another hot and humid day with highs again around 90 degrees. While the morning will feature plenty of sunshine, forecasters are including a small chance of a pop-up shower or storm during the afternoon hours.
According to the latest National Weather Service guidance, the best risk for storms will arrive Tuesday night, ahead of an approaching cold front. These storms could bring brief downpours and gusty winds, though widespread severe weather is not currently expected.
How to Keep Yourself Safe in Such Weather
When dealing with hot and humid conditions, residents are urged to:
- Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water
- Avoid strenuous outdoor activity during peak afternoon heat
- Wear light-colored, breathable clothing
- Keep an eye on weather alerts, especially if you have outdoor plans
Children, the elderly, and pets are especially vulnerable to heat-related illnesses, so extra care should be taken.
