Cleveland, Ohio – Near-freezing overnight temperatures across northern Ohio may impact early-morning travel, according to the National Weather Service.
According to a Monday afternoon update from the National Weather Service office in Cleveland, overnight low temperatures are expected to occur generally before midnight, followed by a gradual warming trend through the overnight hours. Most locations across northern Ohio and northwest Pennsylvania are forecast to be within one to two degrees of the freezing mark by mid-morning Tuesday.
Forecast minimum temperatures show lows ranging from the upper teens to mid-20s across the region. Cleveland is expected to bottom out near 22 degrees, while Akron and Canton may see lows around 20 degrees. Colder readings are forecast farther east, with Ashtabula and Erie, Pennsylvania dipping to around 16 to 17 degrees overnight.
Major travel corridors including Interstate 90 near Cleveland and Sandusky, Interstate 77 through Akron and Canton, Interstate 71 near Medina and Mansfield, and Interstate 76 near Youngstown could see cold pavement temperatures during the late-night and early-morning hours. While no precipitation is currently forecast, untreated surfaces could remain slick in shaded or elevated areas.
The National Weather Service noted that temperatures will slowly rise after midnight, reducing the risk of worsening conditions by the Tuesday morning commute. By mid-morning, most cities are expected to hover near or just above 32 degrees.
The colder overnight conditions may be especially relevant for early-shift workers, students with morning classes, and commuters traveling before sunrise.
No winter weather advisories or warnings were in effect as of Monday afternoon, and officials emphasized that the forecast reflects a moderation compared to previous colder nights.
Residents are encouraged to monitor local forecasts and allow extra travel time if heading out early Tuesday.
