Cleveland, OH – Damp sidewalks and gusty winds mark a grey start across northeast Ohio this Friday morning as scattered showers roll through the Cleveland metro. Temperatures hover in the upper 40s, and while rainfall remains light, commuters can expect slick roads through midday.
According to the National Weather Service in Cleveland, showers will taper by late afternoon as cooler, drier air filters in from the northwest. Highs reach the low 50s before clouds begin to thin heading into Friday night. A brisk breeze off Lake Erie keeps things feeling crisp but manageable for evening plans.
Saturday turns calmer with partly sunny skies and highs near 54°F, a nice rebound before Sunday’s stretch of bright sunshine and mild upper 50s. Winds ease through the weekend, setting up a few ideal days for fall cleanup, outdoor markets, or early Halloween decorating.
To the north, across Michigan’s Upper Peninsula and northern Wisconsin, some models hint at the season’s first snowflakes early next week — a reminder that the Great Lakes are edging closer to winter mode. For Ohio, it’s a gentler transition: cool mornings, dry afternoons, and plenty of sunshine by Sunday.
Looking beyond the weekend, early signs point to a slightly cooler, wetter start to next week, but no wintry mix yet for Cleveland. Trick-or-treaters heading out next Friday may want jackets, though — Halloween looks cool but dry, with temperatures dipping into the 40s after dark.
For now, keep the umbrella handy through today, then enjoy a welcome dose of fall sunshine by Sunday’s sunrise.
