As the rain sweeps across Northern Ohio ahead of a cold front, residents can expect short-term relief from dry conditions. However, that light at the end of the tunnel isn’t forecasted to last long, according to the National Weather Service in Cleveland, OH. Showers are moving quickly today, and while they may be accompanied by gusty winds topping out around 40 mph, the rain’s welcome hydration is predicted to be less than half an inch. “The main cold front lags well behind the rain and could generate some additional scattered showers later this morning into the afternoon hours,” the National Weather Service reported in its area forecast discussion.
