Wednesday's extended Cleveland weather forecast: Severe weather threat later today in Northeast Ohio

Cleveland weather forecast for Wednesday, April 17, 2024.

Heads up! We're expecting a line of strong to severe storms this afternoon into the evening that will roll from west to east through northern Ohio.

Getting you started this morning, we have lingering downpours and clouds.

We'll clear our skies out once we hit the midday into early afternoon hours. Temps will respond as we should surge into the mid 70s with some afternoon sunshine. Attention will then turn toward a line of storms that will develop along the actual cold front, which will be moving in from the west this afternoon. All modes of severe weather are possible with this line and although it will be brief, it could pack a punch.

Behind the front it turns a bit cooler Thursday before another frontal boundary moves in Friday, bringing more showers and a shot of cooler air for the weekend.

This weekend we have a shot of cooler air coming our way -- and that comes with a frost and even a freeze risk. This is right on par with our averages -- our average last freeze is in late April and our average last frost isn't until early May.


Here is your 3-day Cleveland weather forecast.

TODAY: Morning rain and clouds giving way to some sunshine. A round of strong to severe afternoon/evening storms rolls through. Mid 70s.

THURSDAY: A mix of sun and clouds. Cooler but pleasant. Mid to upper 60s.

FRIDAY: Rain and a few rumbles, mainly early. Turning cooler. Low 60s.
