Cleveland, Ohio – Unseasonably cold air is gripping northern Ohio this Saturday, with daytime highs struggling to break the low 60s and some areas near Lake Erie stuck in the 50s.
According to the National Weather Service in Cleveland, cities including Erie, Meadville, and Ashtabula are seeing early morning showers with up to a 40% chance of precipitation before noon. Temperatures across the region will remain 10 to 15 degrees below normal for late May, with highs ranging from 54°F in Erie to 63°F in Findlay and Marion. The rain is expected to taper off by early afternoon.
Drivers in Youngstown, Cleveland, and Akron should watch for slick spots on secondary roads early Saturday, especially in shaded or elevated areas. The cooler air may keep heating systems running longer than usual, and residents are advised to dress in layers if spending time outdoors. No widespread hazards are expected, but the cool snap may impact weekend travel and outdoor plans.
The region will begin to dry out by Saturday afternoon, though another update from the NWS is expected later today. Keep checking local forecasts as Memorial Day weekend continues.
