Rain with a high near 76 forecast Thursday for Juneteenth celebrations in Mansfield
Juneteenth will be warm and rainy in Mansfield.
Showers are expected throughout the morning Thursday, according to Douglas Kahn, a meteorologist who works in the Cleveland office of the National Weather Service.
"Anywhere from half an inch to an inch," Kahn said. "I can't really give you like an exact amount ... it really depends on where the strongest cells are."
Thursday morning's storms are expected to follow a night of rain that was forecast to begin about 10 p.m. Wednesday.
The rain showers Thursday will likely be short and will leave North Central Ohio by lunchtime.

"Looks like they just kind of pass through," Kahn said. "Looks like the rain chances decrease later afternoon into the evening."
The afternoon for Juneteenth will likely be dry, but still partly cloudy.
"I have not looked at the cloud cover for tomorrow," Kahn said.
A weather report from AccuWeather predicts that Thursday afternoon in Mansfield will be partly sunny with a high near 76 degrees.
Scattered showers are possible throughout the afternoon Thursday.
The day should be slightly breezy with wind gusts up to 30 mph.

Dalton Highway reopens after floods
Jun. 18—The road to Alaska's North Slope oil fields and the U.S. Arctic Ocean reopened Wednesday after snowmelt floods washed part of the road away, causing a five-day shutdown. The 415-mile Dalton Highway reopened at noon with traffic control and some single-lane sections in place, according to the Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities. The largely dirt-gravel road was closed on Saturday for more than 50 miles, between Milepost 305 to 356, after the flooding caused problems at multiple sites. Milepost 315, about 100 miles south of the road's end near the North Slope oil fields, suffered the most damage after a culvert failed. Crews raced to install replacement culverts. The flooding was caused by a sudden warmup to above-normal temperatures, following an extended, colder-than-normal spring. It stranded camper vehicles along the closed section and delayed shipments needed for the oil fields. No one was hurt, according to the transportation department, and companies said they had extra fuel, food and other items to weather the freight delays. "Upon reopening, travelers should expect traffic control to remain in place between Milepost 315 and Milepost 345," the state said in an emailed statement. "Several locations will continue operating as single-lane sections due to storm-related damage. While repairs have been completed in key areas, including Happy Valley (at Milepost 335), delays are still likely and we encourage all drivers to plan ahead and allow extra travel time." Crews are still working at Milepost 315, where the road will be down to one lane, the statement said. At the Happy Valley section, "crews have repaired the void under the roadway and installed erosion control measures," the statement said. "There are currently no traffic impacts in this area." Culvert repairs and one-lane travel will also be taking place at Milepost 345.5, the statement said. "Between (Milepost) 401 and 403, high water levels caused by wind and runoff continue to be monitored," the statement said. "No erosion has been observed so far."

Rider Fire in Riverside County forces temporary evacuation orders
Some evacuation orders were issued in the Mead Valley region of Riverside County on Wednesday due to a fast-growing brush fire. The Rider Fire, which was first reported just before 5:30 p.m. near Rider Street and Seaton Avenue, west of the 215 Freeway, has burned nearly 50 acres, according to the Riverside County Fire Department. Four Cal Fire air tankers and two water-dropping helicopters joined hand crews as they attempted to control the flames, which briefly threatened at least one structure, firefighters said. As the fire burned, firefighters issued evacuation orders and warnings for people living on Old Elsinore Road. Several roads were also closed due to the firefight. All evacuations have since been lifted and crews are expected to remain at the scene overnight to continue strengthening containment lines, Cal Fire said. No injuries have been reported and no structures are believed to have been damaged. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
