Cleveland is starting Thursday under cloudy skies with temperatures around 70 degrees, but the day should turn partly sunny and reach about 81. Patchy fog is possible early, while the bigger weather story builds into a warm, stormy Sunday.
Fog Gives Way To A Mostly Dry Thursday
Patchy fog could slow the morning commute before thinning out, followed by partly sunny skies and light northwest winds. The National Weather Service Cleveland puts the chance of rain at about 20% early Thursday, with most of the day expected to stay dry.
Clouds Linger Before Weekend Storms
Thursday night will be mostly cloudy with a low near 69, and Friday looks similar with a high around 82 and only a small chance of rain. Showers are more likely tonight into Friday in areas generally west of I-77, while Saturday brings mostly sunny skies and a high near 83.
Sunday Is The Weekend Wild Card
The forecast turns much more unsettled Saturday night, when showers and thunderstorms become possible after 8 p.m. Sunday is expected to bring showers and thunderstorms, a high near 85 and an 80% chance of precipitation, with the National Weather Service noting a low risk for severe weather, especially Sunday afternoon.
That makes Sunday a poor bet for fully outdoor plans without an indoor backup, particularly as winds increase and conditions turn more humid. Lake Erie winds could reach 15 to 20 mph Sunday, making boating and shoreline activities less comfortable even before storms arrive.
Cooler, Calmer Weather Returns Monday
Showers may linger Sunday night before Monday turns partly sunny with a high near 77. Tuesday looks like the calmest day in the extended forecast, with sunny skies, a high around 78 and overnight temperatures falling into the mid-60s.
No watches, warnings or advisories are currently listed for Cleveland or the surrounding Ohio forecast area, but Sunday’s storm timing and intensity could still shift. Anyone with weekend plans should check the latest forecast before heading out.
