CLEVELAND, Ohio – Drivers across northeast Ohio should expect crisp mornings and bright afternoons as fall-like weather settles in Wednesday. Clear skies will dominate through late week, but commuters on I-90 and I-71 should remain cautious of early morning fog and strong sun glare during rush hours.
According to the National Weather Service in Cleveland, Wednesday will bring sunny skies with a high near 78. Winds will stay light, shifting northeast in the afternoon. Overnight lows will dip to the upper 50s, offering a cooler start to Thursday.
Thursday remains sunny with highs near 79, and calm winds continue into the evening. By Friday, another sunny day is expected with highs in the upper 70s, keeping conditions ideal for outdoor activities and travel. But the weather pattern begins to shift late Saturday night as moisture from the south edges into Ohio.
Mostly sunny skies hold Saturday with highs around 78, but clouds increase after sunset. By Sunday, scattered showers may move into Cuyahoga County and surrounding areas, with a 30 to 40 percent chance of rain through Monday.
Residents are urged to enjoy the dry stretch while preparing for unsettled weather later this weekend. Keep travel plans flexible Sunday, especially if heading toward Lake Erie shorelines where conditions may shift quickly.
