Narrative:

There was a divert to cle from dtw. I was spacing another cle inbound behind the divert to cle. I had 6 departures from dtw; all of which were deviating for WX and I had to clear on course. Aircraft was a dtw satellite departure who deviated and when was done I gave direct har. I overlooked an adjacent sector that this aircraft traversed through a portion of without a proper pointout. It was an oversight on my part. The WX deviations made the sector more complex but it still was an oversight.

Title: ZOB CTLR EXPERIENCED OPDEV DURING COMPLEX TFC PERIOD WITH WX DEVS; ENTERING ANOTHER SECTOR'S AIRSPACE WITHOUT NOTIFICATION.

Narrative: THERE WAS A DIVERT TO CLE FROM DTW. I WAS SPACING ANOTHER CLE INBOUND BEHIND THE DIVERT TO CLE. I HAD 6 DEPS FROM DTW; ALL OF WHICH WERE DEVIATING FOR WX AND I HAD TO CLR ON COURSE. ACFT WAS A DTW SATELLITE DEP WHO DEVIATED AND WHEN WAS DONE I GAVE DIRECT HAR. I OVERLOOKED AN ADJACENT SECTOR THAT THIS ACFT TRAVERSED THROUGH A PORTION OF WITHOUT A PROPER POINTOUT. IT WAS AN OVERSIGHT ON MY PART. THE WX DEVS MADE THE SECTOR MORE COMPLEX BUT IT STILL WAS AN OVERSIGHT.
