More Damaging Thunderstorms Possible In Cuyahoga County

CLEVELAND — More rain and thunderstorms are headed toward Cuyahoga County, the National Weather Service warns.

There is a 60-percent chance of showers developing before 2 p.m. and an 80-percent chance of thunderstorms forming from 3 p.m. onward. The inclement weather could continue through the evening, but is likely to taper off before Friday morning.

"Strong wind gusts are the primary threat," the National Weather Service said.

Scattered storms blew through Northeast Ohio on Wednesday evening, leaving hundreds of Cuyahoga County residents in the dark. As of Thursday morning, nearly 600 people, mostly in Cleveland and Strongsville, were still without power following the storms.

While Friday will likely be cloudy and dry, rain could return over the weekend, with showers possible on both Saturday and Sunday.
