Rainy Weekend Ahead: Steady and Heavy Showers Expected.
Northern Ohio will experience steady and heavy rain on Friday, with temperatures feeling cool and damp due to the rain and breezy conditions. The rainy and cooler pattern is due to a shift in the tropical Pacific to a cooler phase, a ridge of high pressure over the Gulf of Alaska, and a strong high-pressure ridge over Greenland. There will be little chance of long stretches of warmth, and big temperature swings are common in northern Ohio, especially in March and April. Additional rain is expected early next week, with temperatures in the 40s.
