CLEVELAND — Here's our first big battle with the Lake Effect "Rain" Machine! Lake Erie water temp is still holding in the lower 60s. That mild compared to the air blowing over the water and into Ohio. We're stuck in the 40s almost all day. That means TONS of moisture will get pulled out of the lake, lofted into the sky and dropped on Ohio. In squalls.

We'll notice bands of heavy rain down wind of Lake Erie today. Low visibility, occasional lightning, gusts to 40mph. Be safe. And be diligent because the weather will vary. The farther south you are, the drier you are. We're all windy & cold but MUCH wetter in the Primary Snow Belt. 1-3 inches of rain will be possible there. Elsewhere across NEO, rainfall totals will be much lower, with most folks picking up a tenth to a half an inch of rain
