CLEVELAND, Ohio – Northeast Ohio wakes up to crisp fall air this Saturday with temperatures sliding toward cooler nights as the weekend continues. Commuters on I-90 and the Shoreway should plan for clear, dry travel today, but early next week brings a noticeable shift.
According to the National Weather Service in Cleveland, highs stay in the mid- to upper-70s through Monday before dipping into the upper 60s by Wednesday. Lows near Lake Erie will settle into the 50s, signaling the arrival of true fall conditions by midweek.
Sunny skies dominate Saturday and Sunday, with calm winds adding to a mild stretch. However, by Monday, light northwest breezes pick up, ushering in the cooler pattern. Travelers should prepare for longer evenings with faster temperature drops and plan outdoor activities earlier in the day.
Cleveland, Parma, and Mentor will see mostly sunny afternoons this weekend, ideal for late-September events, though cooler nights will remind residents of October’s approach. Those heading to evening football games or outdoor gatherings should pack a jacket.
Looking ahead, a slight dip in temperatures by Wednesday brings a taste of early October, though rain chances remain low. With drier conditions holding, roads and airports across Cuyahoga County should operate without major weather disruptions.
The shift from warm afternoons to brisk evenings marks the start of fall’s stronger influence across Northeast Ohio. Residents can expect similar swings as October begins next week.
