CLEVELAND, Ohio – Northeast Ohio wakes to clear skies and crisp fall air Thursday, with temperatures set to climb toward the upper 70s. Drivers along I-90 and commuters across Cuyahoga County can expect smooth travel conditions today as dry weather dominates.
According to the National Weather Service, the region will see mostly sunny skies through Saturday, with daytime highs reaching the lower 80s. Light south winds will bring mild nights, keeping lows in the upper 50s to low 60s. Public safety officials urge residents to take advantage of the stretch of dry weather for yard work, home repairs, and early Halloween decorating before showers return next week.
Friday will remain dry and pleasant, topping out near 78 degrees before a warm push brings highs of 81 Saturday and Sunday. Roads across Cleveland, Parma, and Lakewood should stay clear of weather hazards, giving travelers an easy start to October. By late Monday, however, a shift in the pattern arrives. A 30% chance of showers will move in after dark, followed by a 50% chance Tuesday, bringing slick conditions for morning commuters.
With highs dipping back into the 70s Tuesday, the first hint of cooler fall air returns. Residents are advised to keep rain gear ready and watch for potential slowdowns on major roadways. Sunshine is expected to return by midweek.
Warnings are not in effect at this time, but conditions will change quickly as the next system approaches. Updates are likely through Monday.
