Summer-Like Weather Ahead For Northern Ohio: Forecast

CLEVELAND — Northeast Ohioans are in for a summer-like week of gradually warming weather.

Unlike previous dalliances with sunshine and sweat, this week won't be tempered by suddenly chilly temperatures. Instead, conditions will only get gradually hotter as the days advance.

Temperatures will reach 80 degrees on Wednesday, according to the the National Weather Service. Things will only get warmer from there, with highs of 85 and 88 degrees expected on Thursday and Friday.

There is a thin chance of thunderstorms on Wednesday evening, though there's a one-in-five shot of storms actually developing, the National Weather Service said. There's virtually no other chance for rain during the week.

Overnight lows will only dip into the mid-60s.

Gardeners will want to check their hoses and make sure their plants are getting enough water during the week.
