Cleveland Weather: Sandy concerns

Written By kolimtiga on Jumat, 26 Oktober 2012 | 13.59

Some portions of northern Ohio kissed record highs, while others were left just short.

Cleveland-Hopkins topped out at 79. Record: 80 (1963)

Akron-Canton topped out at 79, which ties the old record set it 1963.

Mansfield-Lahm was 2 shy of tying the record of 79, set in 1963.

New Philadelphia broke the record high with an 81 reading.  Old record was 80 set in 1991.

So, unfortunately we now have to say goodbye to the unusually warm temperatures.

A strong cold front will sweep through tomorrow, dropping our temperatures and bringing rain chances into the area.

We'll start the day in the upper 50s (after a midnight high in the low/mid 60s) and find temperatures falling into the low/mid 50s for the afternoon and evening.  The rain will be moving in from the west through the morning into the early afternoon, and scattered rain chances will persist through the evening.

The front then stalls to the east of us and rain will persist through Saturday.  Temps will be cool...only near 50 for highs.

Now, as exciting as all of that is ... we still haven't mentioned Sandy.  

Sandy is a hurricane that is currently battering the Bahamas, but the storm will continue on a northerly path through the weekend.  At some point late this weekend or early next week, the storm is forecast to take a left turn into the East Coast (today's coastal choice is New Jersey...it has been shifting with each update).

What happens after that is anybody's guess.

Here is what WE need to be prepared for next week:

Wind - Very high wind potential for Sunday through Wednesday

Rain - Heavy rain chances for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday

Rain/snow mix - We will likely have some snow mixing in at times

The big key here is how far west Sandy will come.  If the storm moves toward us, it will bring with it a bubble of warm air that will keep the precip as rain (no snow mixing).

If that storm goes farther east, more cold air will be pulled our way and we'll end up with more of a rain/snow mix or just snow.

We will likely have VERY different outcomes for those west of I-71 as opposed to those farther east.

Only time will tell what exactly will happen, but you can bet we'll be watching!

Keep up to date with the latest forecast--- as we do expect potential changes heading into early next week as a result of Hurricane Sandy.

Tonight:  Clouds increase and thicken.  Mild.  Upper 50s/near 60

Tomorrow:  Mainly cloudy with rain moving in.  Morning temps in the upper 50s/low 60s falling into the low/mid 50s for the afternoon.

Saturday:  Rain likely.  Cool and breezy.  Near 50

Sunday:  Mainly cloudy with scattered rain, especially east.  Windy.  Upper 40s

Monday:  Rain likely.  Some rain/snow mix possible.  VERY WINDY.  Mid/upper 40s

Tuesday:  Rain likely with some rain/snow mix possible.  VERY WINDY.  Low/mid 40s

Wednesday:  Rain likely.  Windy.  Mid 40s

Thursday:  Mainly cloudy with scattered rain.  Upper 40s

Again, PLEASE stay up on the latest forecasts and stay Weather Ready.
