Cleveland, OH – A significant shift in weather is expected for Ohio this week, with wind, rain, and snow likely to disrupt travel starting midweek. A strong cold front will begin impacting the Cleveland area late Wednesday, bringing heavy rain, gusty winds, and a possible mix of snow by Thursday.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS), rain will intensify Wednesday afternoon and evening, with wind gusts reaching up to 35 mph. By Thursday, temperatures will drop into the mid-30s, leading to a mix of rain and snow, particularly along higher elevations and roads like I-90. Commuters are advised to monitor forecasts and allow extra time for travel as wet roads may become slick during peak hours.
The five-day forecast shows mild conditions today and Tuesday, with highs near 58°F and 62°F, respectively, and scattered showers overnight. However, the system arriving Wednesday will bring a sharp drop in temperatures, with highs falling to 40°F by Thursday and lingering in the mid-40s through Friday. Breezy conditions will continue into the weekend, accompanied by showers.
The NWS advises residents to secure outdoor items ahead of strong winds and prepare for possible delays on local roadways. Those traveling along the I-90 corridor should watch for updates as snow accumulation will depend on storm strength and timing.
Stay informed by checking updated forecasts daily and taking precautions during commutes later this week.
