Overview

• Rain arrives from the west overnight into Thursday morning, with most areas projected to receive about a half-inch and locally heavier pockets possible.
• A rumble of thunder may occur, but weak instability keeps the severe-weather threat low, according to the National Weather Service.
• Highs fall from the low 80s Wednesday to the mid-to-upper 60s Thursday, marking a rapid drop of roughly 20 degrees.
• A secondary, drier front late Friday brings limited showers and breezy gusts near 25 mph before winds ease Saturday.
• After a cooler Saturday with possible lake-effect showers east of Cleveland, high pressure returns Sunday with dry, crisp weather and highs in the upper 60s to low 70s following an August rainfall deficit of about 1.64 inches.
