CLEVELAND, Ohio – The early morning air feels sharp and still across the lakefront this Sunday, the kind that nips at fingertips and leaves a faint glimmer on parked cars. Clouds linger over Lake Erie, but sunshine is set to return soon — though the reprieve won’t last long as colder air and rain eye northern Ohio later this week.
Today stays partly sunny and calm, with highs near 56°F and a light breeze from the north. Skies clear late, setting up a chilly Monday morning with patchy frost possible in inland suburbs from Medina to Chardon. Gardeners should protect any late blooms or sensitive plants. Temperatures climb to the upper 50s Monday under bright, dry skies — ideal for outdoor cleanup or Halloween decorating.
Tuesday remains quiet and sunny before a midweek pattern shift brings increasing clouds and light rain by Wednesday. Showers will develop first west of I-71 and spread east through the day. Rain chances peak Wednesday night into Thursday, with a few breezy periods along the lakeshore. Temperatures hold steady in the mid-50s, but cooler air trails close behind the front.
Looking toward Halloween Friday, conditions appear mostly dry but crisp — highs near 52°F with trick-or-treat temps in the 40s and a light west wind.
Early November models hint at a chillier setup for northern Ohio, possibly the region’s first hard frost or brief freeze as winter’s early touch edges closer.
