CLEVELAND — This afternoon and evening, the region experienced several severe thunderstorm warnings stretching from Mansfield to Carrollton. Fortunately, these strong storms have since diminished, with the threat of hit-and-miss showers and thunderstorms lingering overnight into Friday morning.
The cold front that triggered these storms will keep sporadic storm chances in play throughout Friday before it moves out late Friday night into early Saturday. The most significant rain is expected in the morning and afternoon, followed by a gradual trend toward drier conditions by Friday evening. It’s worth noting that a few storms could regain strength on Friday.
Rainfall totals are expected to vary significantly, with some locations receiving less than 0.25 inches while others may see 2-3 inches or more. Areas hit by the heaviest rainfall could also face flash flooding due to the repeated heavy downpours.
