CLEVELAND, Ohio – After a damp start, Northeast Ohio is set to enjoy a string of pleasant fall days just in time for the Columbus Day holiday. Skies will turn sunnier and temperatures will climb well into the upper 60s, creating ideal conditions for outdoor plans, from pumpkin patches to park hikes across Cuyahoga County.
According to the National Weather Service Cleveland Office, Saturday will see partly sunny skies and highs around 64°F. A light southwest breeze will help dry out roads and sidewalks along I-90 and I-71, which saw spotty showers earlier. By Sunday, expect mostly sunny skies and highs near 70°F—perfect for those planning weekend markets, fall sports, or early Halloween decorating.
Columbus Day on Monday continues the warm, bright trend, with highs near 68°F and plenty of sunshine. The dry stretch should hold through Tuesday before another system brings a 30% chance of showers late in the day. Drivers should remain alert for slick roads and reduced visibility during the evening commute.
Looking ahead, midweek brings slightly cooler air, signaling the next fall transition. Wednesday highs will dip to the low 60s, with brisker breezes hinting at a potential late-week cooldown. Those with outdoor plants or weekend plans should monitor local updates for the first hints of frost by next weekend.
