CLEVELAND, OH – Ohio residents should prepare for gusty winds, rain, and a possible mix of snow this weekend as a cold front moves through the region. Wind gusts could reach up to 45 mph on Friday afternoon, creating hazardous driving conditions, especially along I-90 and other major highways.
According to the National Weather Service, a weak disturbance will bring scattered rain showers Thursday evening, with a stronger system arriving Friday. Southwest winds will strengthen throughout the day, with gusts peaking in the afternoon and early evening. A chance of rain persists into Friday night, with temperatures dropping enough to allow for a mix of rain and snow showers in the early morning hours of Saturday.
Saturday will start with lingering snow showers before skies gradually clear. No significant accumulation is expected, though slick roads could develop early in the day. Highs will reach the low 30s, with breezy conditions making it feel even colder.
Sunday offers a break from the active weather, with mostly sunny skies and a high near 27°F. However, another system is expected early next week, bringing increased chances of rain by Tuesday and steady showers on Wednesday.
Travelers should stay updated on road conditions and be prepared for changing weather, especially Friday afternoon and Saturday morning. Warmer temperatures are on the horizon as March begins, but winter isn’t over yet.
