Cleveland is waking to clear skies and temperatures near 55 degrees Saturday, with a mostly sunny day ahead and a high near 69. The weekend looks like a welcome fall reset: dry, bright and comfortable, though a northeast breeze will pick up through the afternoon.

Sunny Weekend, Breezy By Afternoon

The National Weather Service Cleveland office expects northeast winds around 5 to 14 mph Saturday, with afternoon temperatures settling in the upper 60s. Saturday night should stay mostly clear with a low near 60, followed by a sunny Sunday and a high near 70.

No watches, warnings or advisories are listed for the Cleveland area. The calmer setup is a noticeable change from last week’s rain and lakeshore hazards, when outdoor plans faced a much less cooperative forecast, as Hoodline previously reported.

Dry Weather Holds Through Tuesday

Monday should stay dry, while Tuesday looks a touch warmer, reaching about 73 degrees under mostly sunny skies, making the first half of the week the best window for outdoor errands, walks and neighborhood plans.

Rain Chances Return Midweek

The dry stretch begins to fade Wednesday, when a slight chance of showers arrives after 2 p.m. Thursday brings a better chance of rain showers, with a 30% daytime chance and a 40% chance Thursday night. Rain coverage should increase Friday.

The latest outlook from the National Weather Service calls for mainly dry weather through Tuesday, followed by scattered rain chances from Wednesday into Friday. No thunderstorms are expected in the current forecast, but umbrellas may become useful again by the middle of next week.
