CLEVELAND, Ohio – Another stretch of summer heat is locking in over northern Ohio, with temperatures soaring into the upper 80s to near 90°F through Saturday. High pressure is keeping skies clear and humidity manageable, making for ideal conditions for outdoor events but also raising concerns about heat safety.
According to the National Weather Service Cleveland, the warm, dry pattern will hold through Saturday evening, with overnight lows in the upper 60s providing limited relief. Saturday’s highs are expected to range from 85 to 92°F across much of northeast Ohio, with the warmest readings inland.
By Sunday, a shift in weather patterns could bring showers and thunderstorms, especially in the afternoon and evening. Cities such as Akron, Canton, and Youngstown may see brief heavy downpours, gusty winds, and lightning. Travelers should be alert for changing road conditions, particularly on Interstates 71 and 77 during storm activity.
Residents are encouraged to stay hydrated, limit strenuous outdoor activity during peak afternoon heat, and monitor local alerts for potential storm warnings late in the weekend.
