Northeast Ohio<\/strong> is entering a stretch of oppressive warmth. Wednesday, July 23<\/strong>, afternoon readings reached the upper 80s \u00b0F (about 31 \u00b0C)<\/strong> to lower 90s \u00b0F (around 33 \u00b0C)<\/strong>; overnight, the mercury stalled in the mid 60s \u00b0F (18\u201320 \u00b0C)<\/strong> to lower 70s \u00b0F (21\u201323 \u00b0C)<\/strong> interval.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The surge continues Thursday, July 24<\/strong>, when muggy air drawn north from the Gulf of Mexico<\/strong> pushes actual temperatures into the lower\u2013mid 90s \u00b0F (32\u201335 \u00b0C)<\/strong>. Combined moisture will drive the heat index<\/strong> toward 95\u2013105 \u00b0F (35\u201340 \u00b0C)<\/strong>. The National Weather Service<\/strong> posted a Heat Advisory<\/strong> from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.<\/strong> for Cleveland<\/strong>, Akron<\/strong>, Lorain<\/strong> and surrounding locales. A stagnant atmosphere and a thin veil of returning smoke have also nudged particle counts into the \u201cunhealthy for sensitive groups\u201d<\/strong> bracket.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A faint lake breeze may grant temporary relief to communities along Lake Erie<\/strong>, yet most interior counties remain exposed to blazing sunshine. Scattered, isolated thunderstorms could flare late in the afternoon; any cell that forms may unleash brief, forceful gusts before fading after dusk.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Evening readings on both Wednesday<\/strong> and Thursday<\/strong> hover near the lower 70s \u00b0F (21\u201323 \u00b0C)<\/strong>, limiting nighttime cooling.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Several Cleveland<\/strong> recreation hubs offer cooled spaces from 11 :30 a.m. to 10 p.m. Thursday and Friday<\/strong>. Sites include Zelma George<\/strong> at 3155 Martin Luther King Blvd., Collinwood<\/strong> at 16300 Lakeshore Blvd., Gunning<\/strong> at 16700 Puritas Ave., Kovacic<\/strong> at 6250 St. Clair Ave., Michael Zone<\/strong> at 6301 Lorain Ave., and Frederick Douglass<\/strong> at 15401 Miles Ave. Spray parks activate whenever readings top 80 \u00b0F (27 \u00b0C)<\/strong>, and outdoor pools operate Wednesday through Sunday<\/strong> from noon until 7 :30 p.m.<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Unsettled patterns nudge into the Great Lakes<\/strong> late week. The dominant upper ridge weakens Friday<\/strong> and Saturday<\/strong>, allowing fronts to pass. Daytime highs ease to the mid 80s \u00b0F (29 \u00b0C)<\/strong> with elevated cloud cover and intermittent rainfall; overnight minima linger in the mid 60s \u00b0F (18 \u00b0C)<\/strong> to mid 70s \u00b0F (24 \u00b0C)<\/strong> range. Bursts of sun between showers could energize storms capable of gusty outflows, torrential bursts and spot flooding, especially near Lake Erie<\/strong> where repeated cells may track the same corridor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Northeast Ohio is entering a stretch of oppressive warmth.
