Cleveland is starting today, July 30, with clear skies and temperatures around 72 degrees, setting up a calm and comfortable day across the city. Sunshine will carry the afternoon, with highs near 81 and just enough north wind to keep things from feeling too sleepy.

Sunny Thursday, Warmer Friday

Temperatures should climb steadily through the morning before topping out around 81 degrees this afternoon. North winds will run near 10 mph, while tonight stays mostly clear with a low around 66.

Tomorrow will bring another mostly sunny day, though it will be warmer, with a high near 85. The National Weather Service’s Cleveland office expects dry conditions through the end of the week, while noting that patchy fog could develop in some inland areas overnight into tomorrow morning.

Weekend Plans Face A Wetter Turn

The forecast gets less cooperative Saturday, when clouds will build and a chance of rain showers arrives between about 2 and 5 p.m. Showers and thunderstorms become more likely later in the day, with a daytime rain chance around 30% and a high near 82.

Saturday night currently looks like the most active period, with showers and thunderstorms likely and a 60% chance of precipitation. Any storms that develop could produce brief heavy rain, according to the National Weather Service.

Sunday will remain unsettled, with a 50% chance of showers before 2 p.m. and a slight chance of afternoon thunderstorms after that, the high should reach about 80. Rain chances gradually ease Sunday evening, with mostly sunny and quieter weather returning Monday.

No Current Weather Alerts

No watches, warnings, or advisories are in effect for Cleveland, Northeast Ohio, or Lake Erie in the current forecast. For outdoor plans, today and tomorrow offer the clearest window, while weekend events may need a backup plan for passing showers and storms.
