TOLEDO, Ohio — WTOL 11 Weather forecast:
- Scattered thunderstorms ending Friday evening
- Mainly dry weekend with isolated showers
- Temperatures remaining milder than average
- Warm and wet weather pattern ahead
A damp, humid Friday will see more pop-up showers or thunderstorms possible during the day. On-and-off rain chances will continue into the afternoon.
Between the rain chances, the sun is expected to peek out and allow highs to hit the lower 70s.
Damp-feeling weather will continue Friday evening as a cold front sweeps in from the west, sparking a line of scattered thundershowers.
While some areas will remain dry all evening, other locations will briefly see a downpour or thunderstorm.
Showers will taper off after dark as winds shift to the northwest behind the front. Temperatures will drop to the mid to upper-50s overnight into Saturday morning.
Saturday will start off with lingering clouds, but some sunshine may return by midday. Glimpses of the sun are most likely northwest of Toledo.
Saturday afternoon will feel mild and a bit muggy with temperatures in the mid-70s.
While most of the day will bring dry weather, a few pop-up showers and thunderstorms could develop in the late afternoon and evening. These isolated showers will gradually taper off overnight.
Sunday will be a repeat performance with mild weather and a few isolated afternoon thundershowers.
While most of the weekend will remain dry, a few pop-up thunderstorms may impact outdoor plans, so check the radar on the free WTOL 11 Weather app.
Monday will bring mainly dry conditions with only a slight chance for a pop-up shower.
Our next chance for widespread rain will arrive Tuesday, kicking off a wet weather pattern.
While many areas will briefly dry out Wednesday, more widespread downpours and thunderstorms are likely Thursday into Friday.
This week’s wet weather could put a pause on spring planting for many area farmers and gardeners, and several inches of rainfall is possible in the next 7 days.
Next weekend will bring the return of cooler conditions with high temperatures in the 60s.
April showers smash the rainfall record
