Cleveland is waking up to clear skies Wednesday, but the calm start will give way to a warm, breezy afternoon with temperatures reaching about 76 degrees. Southwest winds will run 12 to 15 mph, with gusts near 25 mph possible, so loose patio furniture and lightweight umbrellas may have a rough day.
Warm Afternoon Turns Breezy
Rain is unlikely Wednesday, with only a few spotty showers possible near the evening cold front. Temperatures will slide to around 56 overnight as winds shift west, setting up a cooler but sunny Thursday with a high near 67.
Friday stays dry and sunny near 68 degrees, while Saturday brings one more warm push with a high around 78. The week’s earlier dry outlook is now giving way to a wetter weekend forecast, a notable update from Hoodline’s earlier Cleveland forecast.
Weekend Rain Moves In Sunday
Rain showers become likely Sunday, when mostly cloudy skies and a high near 71 are expected. The National Weather Service Cleveland office puts the chance of precipitation around 60%, with additional showers and possible thunderstorms Sunday night as moisture moves into the region.
Columbus Day Monday brings a 50% chance of showers before 2 p.m. and a high near 70, followed by a partly sunny Tuesday with more shower chances. Boaters should also note that a Small Craft Advisory is in effect on Lake Erie, continuing through late afternoon in central nearshore waters and into the evening farther east, according to the National Weather Service.
