Ohio is starting the day with a sharp chill off Lake Erie, and the air feels biting at 31 degrees in Cleveland. Sunshine will take over by late morning, but this brief spring tease won’t last long.
According to the National Weather Service in Cleveland, highs climb to 52 degrees today under sunny skies. Southwest winds near 10 mph help boost temperatures, giving Northeast Ohio a mild break before a weekend shift. Roads along I-90 and I-71 stay dry through the afternoon.
Clouds increase tonight with a slight shower chance toward early morning. Saturday stays cooler, with highs near 43 and partly sunny skies. The real change arrives Saturday night. Snow becomes likely after sunset, with a 60 percent chance of accumulation. Around an inch is possible across parts of Cuyahoga County.
Temperatures fall to 25 degrees by early Sunday. That drop raises flash-freeze concerns. Slushy pavement from Saturday evening snow can harden quickly before sunrise. Plan extra time if traveling early Sunday, especially on bridges and elevated roadways.
Sunday remains cold, with highs near 30 and a slight chance of lingering snow. Sunday night dips to around 20 degrees. Monday rebounds slightly to 35 under mostly sunny skies, but the chill holds through early March.
By Tuesday, rain chances return with highs near 45. The 6–10 day outlook hints at moderating temperatures later next week, signaling gradual spring warmth building across Ohio.
If you’re heading out this weekend, are you preparing for slick conditions late Saturday?
