Northeast Ohio weather forecast: Tracking strong thunderstorms

Your 11 p.m. Northeast Ohio weather forecast for April 17, 2024: Heads up for your Wednesday to stay Weather Ready!

Your morning commute tomorrow will include some rain showers and a few rumbles before we briefly clear up during the afternoon hours. Another line of storms will work in with the cold front itself later in the afternoon towards evening — it's this line we'll have to keep an eye on for a severe potential with damaging winds, heavy downpours and hail being the primary threat. We can't rule out isolated tornados. Temps during the afternoon should surge into the mid and even upper 70s if we can clear out enough.

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.

Ready to plant? Don't be quite yet — our average last freeze is in late April and our average last frost isn't until early May. With the cooler air arriving this weekend, we DO run the risk of some frost and even a freeze in spots. We're still days away from this, but here's a preliminary look at what we're expecting.
