Cleveland, Ohio – Drivers across Northeast Ohio should prepare for slick roads and reduced visibility as thunderstorms roll through Cleveland late Saturday into early Sunday. The storm window opens between 1 a.m. and 2 a.m., bringing lightning, brief downpours, and gusty winds across the metro.
According to the National Weather Service, showers will linger into Sunday, especially before dawn, with additional scattered activity developing Monday afternoon. Rainfall amounts are expected to remain light—less than a tenth of an inch—but heavier bursts may occur in isolated thunderstorms. Travelers using I-90 and I-71 through Cleveland should use caution, as wet pavement and poor visibility could develop quickly overnight.
Sunday itself brings a break in the storms with highs near 76 under mostly sunny skies. Winds remain manageable, but lingering morning moisture could keep conditions damp. Monday, however, signals a return to unsettled weather, with rain showers possible by late morning and scattered thunderstorms later in the day.
By Tuesday, conditions stabilize under mostly sunny skies and highs climbing back toward the upper 60s. A warming trend builds midweek, with sunshine dominating Wednesday through Friday as temperatures rebound into the mid-70s. This stretch should deliver more comfortable, dry conditions for commuters and outdoor events.
Residents should keep phones charged and outdoor items secured through Sunday morning in case of stronger overnight storms. Weather advisories may follow if storm intensity increases.
