    CLEVELAND — It is a sunny but CHILLED start to your Sunday. Thankfully, we will begin to see a warm-up as we head into June. Plan for tons of sun and temps in the mid-60s by Sunday afternoon. Skies will become hazy as wildfire smoke drifts southward from Canada. Most will remain in the upper atmosphere, but there could be some areas that begin to smell smoke to begin the month of June. Air quality will be monitored as smoke returns from fires in Canada over the next several days.

    CLEVELAND — Friday was a wet day thanks to two systems, a low-pressure system to our south and a cold front that sank south Friday night. Both brought rain to the area yesterday, but the front has lingering effects for the weekend. It will be chilly and blustery all day long on Saturday. Afternoon temperatures will be lucky to jump back into the mid-50s. A few stray final showers are possible this morning, but decreasing clouds are expected by this afternoon.

    CLEVELAND — It is a CHILLY start to your Memorial Day. Under mostly clear skies, temperatures fell into the low 40s and even the upper 30s early today. The good news is that temperatures will be *slightly* warmer for the holiday on Monday. We'll touch the middle 60s to the low 70s today. Closer to the lake, mid-60s are expected, but 70s are possible farther inland. We will stay dry all day long. Clouds will be increasing by tonight.

    CLEVELAND — The unofficial start to summer is this weekend, but Memorial Day will not feel anything like summer. Plan on isolated rain Saturday and Sunday with temps in the 50s to near 60. We'll touch the middle 60s on Memorial Day, but the rain returns Tuesday. That being said. Most of your weekend cookouts or Memorial Day services should be fine. Maybe just plan to bring a light jacket with you, and do not be surprised if you feel a couple of raindrops on your head.
