Ohio’s gray sky is hanging low over Cleveland this morning, and a few light flakes could drift across the lakefront before midday. Pavement temperatures sit near freezing, and wind gusts are adding a sharp bite along I-90.
According to the National Weather Service in Cleveland, a slight chance of snow lingers early with lows near 32 degrees. Southwest winds around 13 mph, with gusts near 23 mph, may briefly reduce visibility in passing flurries. Accumulation remains light, but slick patches are possible on untreated bridges.
Skies turn partly sunny this afternoon as highs climb to around 40 degrees. West winds between 11 and 16 mph will keep it brisk. Snowmelt may develop on darker pavement. That sets the stage for refreezing tonight as temperatures drop to 22 degrees. Watch for flash freezing on elevated ramps and overpasses.
Thursday stays mostly sunny but cooler, with highs near 34. Clear skies Thursday night send lows to 25. A bigger warm-up arrives Friday. Sunshine pushes highs to 49 degrees, offering a brief spring tease across Cuyahoga County.
The weekend turns active again. Saturday reaches 45 under mostly sunny skies before a 50 percent chance of snow develops Saturday night. Lows fall to 25, and light accumulation is possible into early Sunday. Additional snow chances linger Sunday night into Monday.
Longer-range outlooks into early March hint at moderating temperatures next week, with gradual warming trends building beyond this stretch.
