Cleveland, OH – Dry skies will dominate most of Thursday, but Northeast Ohio residents should prepare for a shift in conditions beginning tonight as rain chances steadily rise from the west.
According to the US National Weather Service Cleveland, a mix of sunshine and increasing cloud cover is expected Thursday morning into the evening, followed by scattered showers west of I-71 late tonight. The system will usher in a wetter pattern across the region, with periodic rain likely from Friday through Saturday.
Friday’s temperatures are forecast to reach 60–71°F during the day with overnight lows in the low 50s. A slight chance of thunderstorms could develop during daytime hours. By Saturday, conditions will remain unsettled, with continued showers and increasing rain chances overnight. Highs are projected to reach the upper 60s to low 70s.
Drivers should monitor road conditions during commutes as wet pavement and reduced visibility may impact travel, particularly overnight and during the early morning hours.
Residents are advised to secure outdoor items and plan accordingly for weekend events. Though no major flooding or severe storms are currently expected, updates may follow if weather conditions evolve.
