Extreme temperatures this weekend, followed up by showers
The Grand Valley will be exceptionally hot today! Sunny skies will dominate the region today as temperatures exceed 90 degrees. Some gusty outflow winds of up to 20 miles per hour can be expected all day as well. Tonight, expect conditions to remain relatively clear with overnight lows reaching the low sixties. This week is ending with a lot of above average conditions, but tomorrow is planned to be even hotter than today, so prepare for a warm weekend!Isolated to scattered afternoon showers and thunderstorms are expected for the next few days, with decreasing day-to-day coverage. Temperatures remaining warm, peaking this weekend with highs about 10 degrees above normal for June 1. This pattern is expected to turn wetter Sunday night through Tuesday, with widespread precipitation favored. The National Weather Service still has uncertainty in amounts and location of heaviest precipitation.The Great Basin near Nevada has high pressure sitting over the area and ridging extending into north Canada. This ridge will gradually shift east towards the western slope by Sunday. Strong heating during the day will trap a lot of moisture higher in the region, and when it is finally able to cool down a bit in the later hours it is expected to dump all of that moisture in the form of showers. Coverage of these scattered storms today will become more isolated Saturday and Sunday. The primary threats from this convection will be lightning and strong outflow winds gusting 40 to 50 miles per hour. Temperatures today will run five to eight degrees above normal for the end of May, warming to eight to 10 degrees above normal tomorrow and peaking 10 to 12 degrees above normal Sunday.Afternoon showers and possibly thunderstorms for Sunday night seem more and more likely, but the main storm will occur Monday. A big pattern change is set to arrive on Monday as remnant moisture from tropical storm Alvin arrives in tandem with forcing from a low pressure system. Widespread showers and storms are very likely.Overall, expect a very hot one today, Western Slope!

‘Poor' water quality detected at 2 local beaches due to predicted E. coli levels
CLEVELAND (WJW) — Poor water quality has been detected at two Northeast Ohio beaches Saturday, the Northeast Ohio Regional Sewer District said, meaning it's best to stay out of the water. Not that it's great swimming weather this weekend anyways, but just beware. The affected beaches include Edgewater Beach and Villa Angela Beach. Northeast Ohio businessman fulfills dream of going to space The predicted E. coli concentration for Edgewater Beach is 139 MPN/100mL. The threshold is 80 MPN/100mL . The predicted E. coli concentration for Villa Angela Beach is 301 MPN/100mL. The threshold is 135 MPN/100mL 'Poor water quality predictions due to potentially harmful algae indicate that cyanobacterial species capable of producing toxins were found to be present at the time of sample collection. Beach postings will be updated by Cleveland Metroparks based on toxin concentration results,' the NEORSD said. It's so cold Cedar Point Shores waterpark isn't opening this Saturday either Additionally, the National Weather Service warned residents about dangerous swimming conditions Saturday along the lakefront from Erie County, Ohio to Erie County Pennsylvania. NWS Cleveland posted on X Saturday morning about the threat of dangerous swimming conditions due to a high risk of rip currents along with the potential for dangerous wave heights.
