Cleveland starts Labor Day with clear skies, a cool low-60s morning and a sunny afternoon headed toward 78 degrees. Northeast winds will run 5 to 12 mph, with the breeze more noticeable near Lake Erie, but there is no rain in the holiday forecast.
Labor Day Stays Sunny Before Heat Builds
The National Weather Service in Cleveland expects temperatures to climb through the 60s and 70s Monday, peaking in the upper 70s before a mostly clear night drops back to around 61. Tuesday turns warmer, with mostly sunny skies and a high near 85 as winds shift south.
That makes Monday the easy outdoor-plans day, but the week is not staying this polite. The midweek heat and storm timing are now more defined than in Sunday's earlier Hoodline forecast.
Wednesday Brings Heat, Then Storms
Wednesday is expected to be the warmest day, reaching about 88 degrees, with showers possible after 2 p.m. and thunderstorms becoming more likely later in the afternoon and evening. The chance of precipitation is around 40% during the day and rises to 80% Wednesday night, when southwest winds and a low near 69 are expected.
Showers and thunderstorms remain likely Thursday before 2 p.m., followed by mostly cloudy skies and a cooler high near 77. Conditions improve Friday with mostly sunny skies and a high around 76, while Saturday rebounds to about 83 under mostly sunny skies; a slight storm chance returns Saturday night and Sunday.
No watches, warnings or advisories are in effect for Cleveland in the current forecast. For anyone making plans, Monday and Tuesday look dry, while Wednesday afternoon and evening are the days to keep a closer eye on the sky.
