Cleveland woke to clear skies and temperatures in the mid‑60s on Sunday morning, the kind of start that makes you think summer might behave itself. Expect a sunny day with a high near 80°F and light north winds, an easy setup for errands, ballgames or a backyard hang. A more intense stretch of weather arrives next week as heat builds into the 90s and shower and thunderstorm chances ramp up by Tuesday, with some storms capable of producing heavy downpours.
Today: Patchy Morning Fog, Sunny Afternoon
Patchy fog may linger early but should burn off by mid‑morning, leaving mostly sunny skies and a daytime high around 80°F. North winds will stay light at 5 to 8 mph, and tonight will be mild with lows in the mid‑60s. No watches or warnings are expected for Sunday.
Where To Cool Off
With hotter conditions coming Monday, Cuyahoga County is pointing residents to community cooling centers and senior services. Call the Division of Senior and Adult Services at (216) 420‑6700 or see the Cuyahoga County DSAS website for locations and hours. The county urges people to hydrate, check on neighbors and limit outdoor exertion during peak heat.
Midweek Heat And Heavy Downpours Possible
According to the National Weather Service, a warming trend will push highs into the low 90s Monday through Wednesday, with dew points climbing into the low 70s and heat index values near 100°F. Showers and thunderstorms become likely Tuesday into Tuesday night, with a roughly 70% chance of precipitation and an increased risk of brief heavy downpours and localized flooding where storms train. The agency notes the atmosphere may hold more than 2 inches of moisture in some spots, which could boost flash flood potential.
Plan Ahead
If you have outdoor events early next week, consider moving them earlier in the day or indoors, and keep water handy. Watch for forecast updates if watches or warnings are issued, and check conditions before heading out so the heat and storms do not catch you off guard.
