Cleveland, Ohio – Morning light spreads across Lake Erie under clear skies, the water calm after a string of mild autumn days. It’s the quiet before another damp stretch—showers are on track to return early in the new week, breaking a brief run of dry, comfortable weather across northeast Ohio.

According to the National Weather Service in Cleveland, high pressure over the Great Lakes will keep skies mostly sunny through Sunday. Southwest winds stay light, pushing highs into the mid-50s today and upper 50s Sunday afternoon. Those planning outdoor cleanup or early holiday decorating will find ideal conditions before rain edges back Monday.

Clouds increase by Monday afternoon with a 30 percent chance of light rain, most likely south and east of downtown along the I-77 and I-271 corridors. Rainfall should remain light, but damp pavement may slow the evening commute. A second, slightly stronger system could bring another round of scattered showers late Wednesday, marking a more noticeable early November cooldown.

Temperatures remain mild for now—highs near 57 Monday and 56 Tuesday—but models hint at colder air diving south by late next weekend. So far, no snow or ice is expected, though forecasters note some early signs of lake-effect potential mid-month as temperatures drop closer to freezing.

For now, Cleveland enjoys a classic early-November pattern: calm breezes, changing leaves, and one more weekend of sunshine before the season’s first true winter hints begin to show.
