Cleveland, OH – Ohio residents can expect a true taste of fall starting Thursday, October 9, as cooler air sweeps across the region following early-week rain. Morning commuters should plan for damp roads today before skies clear midweek, bringing a crisp, comfortable stretch through the weekend.
According to the National Weather Service, scattered showers and a few thunderstorms will linger through Tuesday afternoon before a significant cooldown begins. Highs near 72°F today will drop to around 60°F by Thursday, with overnight lows dipping into the low 40s. Winds will shift north, ushering in dry, sunny air just in time for outdoor plans, pumpkin patch visits, and fall décor setups.
By Wednesday, skies turn mostly sunny with highs near 61°F. Thursday and Friday will feature full sunshine, light winds, and chilly mornings—ideal for early Halloween decorating or leaf-viewing drives along I-90 and Edgewater Park. Temperatures will gradually rebound into the mid-60s by the weekend.
Residents should prepare for brisk mornings and dress in layers as the first true “fall feel” arrives. While no frost is expected yet, gardeners and outdoor vendors should monitor conditions later in the week as nighttime lows approach the upper 30s inland.
