High Temps, Thunderstorms Possible Sunday In Northern Ohio

CLEVELAND — High temperatures could give way to powerful thunderstorms on Sunday, according to forecasts.

After several days of sweltering heat, northern Ohio could again see the unhealthy pairing of dangerous humidity and soaring temperatures. Sunday's high is expected to be in the high 80s or low 90s and the air should be heavy with water.

Luckily, relief is in sight.

Thunderstorms are likely to develop overnight, the National Weather Service said. The storms could bring heavy rainfall to a parched region and signal the gradual dropping of temperatures.

There's currently a 70-percent chance of storms forming between Sunday night and Monday morning. The shift in weather could produce choppy waters in Lake Erie, with the National Weather Service preemptively warning swimmers that venturing into the lake could be dangerous starting tonight.

Temperatures should drop into the low 80s and mid-70s by Monday and Tuesday, based on current forecasts.
