Cleveland, OH — Residents can expect warmer temperatures and scattered rain showers through the weekend, potentially complicating travel plans in Northeast Ohio. Highs will reach the low 50s today, rising to near 60 on Saturday.
According to the National Weather Service, showers are expected late Friday evening, becoming widespread overnight. Saturday will bring another round of rain by the afternoon, with a high near 60 degrees and southeast winds of 10-15 mph. Travelers along major routes such as I-90 should anticipate wet roadways and reduced visibility through Saturday night.
The forecast also includes rain continuing into Sunday, with temperatures dropping to the mid-40s. New Year’s Eve travelers may face additional rain showers, with colder air and a chance of snow arriving Wednesday. Drivers are encouraged to check local road conditions and pack essentials for safe travel.
Despite the rain, the unseasonably warm temperatures provide some relief from typical late-December weather. By Monday, conditions will improve slightly, with partly sunny skies and a high near 46 degrees. However, heavier rain returns Tuesday night and into New Year’s Day.
