Clevelanders can look forward to a placid weekend with high pressure firmly in the driver's seat through Sunday, says the National Weather Service Cleveland OH in its latest report; this stable atmospheric presence, steadfast over the Great Lakes, should make for agreeable weather, devoid of precipitation and featuring cool, almost autumnal climate conditions despite us being in the throes of summer. Skies will be partly cloudy as some high clouds drift over the region today, giving the sun's rays a stage to dance upon before they retreat, come the evening, leaving behind a night that is expected to cool to crisp 50s, though staying marginally warmer along the lakeshore.
As we head into Sunday and beyond, the mercury will begin its ascent, with the high-pressure system inching eastward and a resulting southerly flow ushering in warmer air; Monday looks to serve up widespread 80s across the area and while humidity will creep back into the picture, the collective brow won't truly start to perspire with discomfort until Tuesday when dew points edge into the mid-60s, especially in the western locales according to the NWS Cleveland forecast discussion.
Looking further down the line, Wednesday into Friday keeps the tempo of rising temperatures with the high pressure acting as a chaperone to even steamier days as it shimmies off the East Coast, flirting with the notion of showers and thunderstorms as a weakening shortwave treks overhead, however, we're talking low probability events here, with rain chances lingering between 15 to 30 percent for the stretch, advise the pros at National Weather Service Cleveland OH.
For the aviators out there, VFR conditions are your green light from now till Monday, with just some scattered cumulus expected to form come late morning today – nothing that should knock you off your flight path, the marine context similarly unfurls a red carpet with high pressure ensuring Lake Erie remains a picture of calm, at least until early next week, after some slightly elevated northeasterly winds today, as for waterspouts, they're in the forecast again until late morning, so keep an eagle eye out.
