Cleveland is starting Monday with partly cloudy skies and temperatures near 69 degrees, but the early breeze is doing its best to make August feel less August-like. The rest of the day should turn mostly sunny, with a high near 77 and no rain expected.
Lake Erie Beach Alert Runs Through Late Morning
The National Weather Service Cleveland office has a Beach Hazards Statement through 11 a.m. Monday for the Lake Erie shoreline, including Cuyahoga County, because of a high risk of rip currents. Swimmers should stay out of the water until the statement expires, as wind and waves can pull people away from shore and along structures.
Quiet, Comfortable Start Before Midweek Heat
North winds around 9 to 13 mph will ease through Monday, followed by a mostly clear night and a low near 61. Tuesday looks sunny and warmer, topping out near 82 with light northeast winds, making it the cleaner bet for outdoor plans.
Storm Chances Build Wednesday Through Friday
Temperatures reach the mid-80s Wednesday and Thursday, with a slight chance of showers Wednesday afternoon and a 30% chance of showers and thunderstorms Thursday. Friday looks most unsettled, with mostly cloudy skies, a high near 81 and a 50% chance of showers and thunderstorms.
Saturday should be partly sunny with a high around 83 and only a slight storm chance, while Sunday climbs back to about 85 with a better chance for showers and thunderstorms. For Clevelanders trying to squeeze in lake time, Monday morning’s beach alert is the immediate concern; the broader week stays warm, with the wettest window arriving Thursday and Friday.
