Rain will move in along a cold front tonight, bringing soaking, much-needed downpours through northern Ohio. They rain will begin to exit tomorrow morning, but expect lingering showers for that Wednesday morning commute. Rain and clouds will head to the east during the morning and midday hours Wednesday as partial clearing begins to take place from north to south.
