First, today's weather:

Mostly sunny and pleasant. High: 80 Low: 65.

Here are the top three stories in Strongsville today:

1. The first-ever StrongFest will be held at the Rec Center on Aug. 27. The event will feature beer and wine tastings, along with food trucks, a travel auction, and music by the band "Jump the Gun". The event will be between 4:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. (City of Strongsville)

3. The County Council approved a second review of the Cuyahoga County Jail on Monday along with almost $20,000 for emergency structural shoring installation in the Justice Center's parking garage. The second review will examine whether or not the jail can be renovated. The second review narrowly passed an approval vote. A review in 2014 reported that the jail could not be renovated and that a new one would need to be built. (Cleveland.com)
