Cleveland, OH – Residents across northeast Ohio and northwest Pennsylvania will want to bundle up tonight as a strong cold front moves through the region, bringing the coldest air of the season so far. The National Weather Service in Cleveland has issued Frost and Freeze Warnings for inland areas, with temperatures expected to drop below freezing overnight Sunday into Monday morning.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS), most of the region has yet to experience a widespread freeze this fall, allowing the growing season to linger. That will likely change tonight as low temperatures dip to around 30–33°F in most areas away from Lake Erie. Sheltered valleys could see lows in the upper 20s, prompting officials to urge residents to cover or bring in sensitive plants.
A Freeze Warning covers much of northeast Ohio and northwest Pennsylvania, including cities like Akron, Youngstown, Erie, and Ashtabula, while a Frost Advisory is in effect near and along the I-77 corridor. Winds are expected to stay light, enhancing the risk of frost formation overnight.
The cold spell will mark the end of the growing season for many inland communities. Temperatures are expected to rebound slightly Monday afternoon before another chilly night follows early in the week.
