Cleveland woke up Friday morning, October 23, to fog and mist with temperatures around 48 degrees, but the gray start will give way to sunshine. The high should reach 64 degrees, with almost no chance of rain.

Sunshine Arrives After Morning Fog

Fog should fade this morning before a sunny afternoon settles over the city, with east/northeast winds at 5 to 10 knots by midafternoon. The National Weather Service forecasts a mostly clear Friday night and a low near 41 degrees.

Frost Risk Is Mostly Inland

Saturday and Sunday will stay dry and sunny, with highs near 65 and 68 degrees, respectively. The NWS Cleveland forecast discussion warns that frost could become widespread across parts of north-central Ohio and northwest Pennsylvania on Saturday and Sunday mornings, with sheltered inland spots potentially dipping into the upper 20s.

Cleveland's official overnight lows are expected to remain closer to the low 40s, but gardeners and residents heading inland may want to cover sensitive plants and prepare for a chilly start. No rain is currently expected through the weekend, making for favorable conditions for outdoor plans once the morning chill lifts.

Mild Weather Holds Into Next Week

Monday should be mostly sunny with a high near 67 degrees, while Tuesday should be sunny with a high in the upper 60s. The forecast then rebounds to the mid and upper 60s Wednesday and Thursday, with only minimal precipitation chances.
