Hurricane Harvey Expected to Impact Local Weather this Labor Day Weekend
Contributed by a reader:
It looks like the remnants of Hurricane Harvey will reach us on Sunday. It’s expected to be centered over Northern Kentucky by Sunday morning. The worst of the two possible scenarios is for showers and Thunderstorms for our region. Possibly up to half-an-inch of rain for Shabbos. Whereas Harvey is not expected to bring widespread flooding, or flooding anywhere close to the disaster in Texas, enough rain may fall to bring urban and isolated flash flooding to some states farther north. We might get up to four inches of rain when it’s all said and done. Chicago and Detroit should be spared, but anywhere east of us, including the North-East will be impacted to some extent. So, plan ahead if you are planning travel over the holiday weekend.

Cleveland heads to more sub-zero days; could be most for a month in 20 years
(Plain Dealer)
Apparently Cleveland had some catching up to do when it came to cold – really cold – weather.
We had gone nearly three years without a sub-zero day before the temperature dipped to 11-below zero at Cleveland Hopkins International Airport on Jan. 6-7.
Now, if the forecast for the next couple of days holds true, we could have our third, fourth and fifth sub-zero days this month. That would be the most on record for a single month in Cleveland in 20 years, the Northeast Ohio Media Group found in going through daily weather reports.
