The weather in northern Ohio today is a beautiful mix of sunshine and some pesky sun glare bouncing off the roads, especially on the Shoreway west of downtown Cleveland. Traffic slowed down significantly there, with both eastbound and westbound lanes blocked at Lake Road, causing backups that snaked their way downtown. There was also a traffic accident near Akron that initially caused delays, but things are clearing up and traffic is getting better.
As the day winds down, expect a glorious evening with clear skies and plenty of warmth, temperatures likely staying in the low 80s until midnight, when they'll start to drop into the upper 70s. But that beautiful weather won't last. A cold front is rolling in starting Friday, bringing a 20% chance of scattered showers. By Saturday, the chances of rain increase, and it could be a washout day, especially as the system shifts southward towards Sunday.
Temperatures will vary too, with the cooler air near Lake Erie feeling quite different from the warmer pockets farther south. If you're planning a Father's Day outing, keep an eye on the forecast for Medina County – expect low 80s on Friday, upper 70s on Saturday with a chance of quick showers, and periods of rain likely throughout the day.
