Good morning, Cuyahoga County. After weeks of parched lawns and dusty cars, Northeast Ohio's skies are finally ready to open up. With forecasters predicting a 90% chance of precipitation Monday and continued showers through Tuesday, that welcome sound of raindrops will provide relief to our moderate drought conditions. The timing couldn't be better as fall festivities take over the region this weekend, from apple picking at Bauman Orchards to the 10th annual Crocker Park Food Truck Challenge.
Meanwhile, Cleveland's luxury aviation scene is reaching new heights as Flexjet adds three $96 million Gulfstream G700s to its fleet. Fresh off securing an $800 million investment from LVMH—the largest equity deal in private aviation history—the company continues to soar from its Cuyahoga County Airport headquarters. With 1,500 local employees monitoring flights in real-time, this homegrown success story proves Cleveland's business landscape extends well beyond our borders—about 7,000 nautical miles beyond, to be exact.
