Cleveland is starting Saturday under mostly cloudy skies and temperatures around 57 degrees, with a warm-up toward 75 before the weekend turns decidedly wetter. The dry window holds through Saturday evening, but rain is expected to move in between 11 p.m. Saturday and 4 a.m. Sunday, with some downpours and a slight chance of thunderstorms.
Rain Takes Over Sunday
The National Weather Service forecast calls for rain through much of Sunday, a high near 67, and southeasterly winds. Rainfall could total three-quarters of an inch to 1 inch, with locally higher amounts possible across Northeast Ohio.
No watches or warnings are posted for Cleveland in the current report, but the heaviest showers could make for messy Sunday driving and soggy outdoor plans. The weather service also recommends clearing leaves and debris from drains before the rain arrives to reduce localized flooding concerns.
Saturday Is the Better Outdoor Bet
Saturday afternoon stays mostly cloudy but dry, with southeast winds near 10 mph and the warmest readings in the midafternoon. By Saturday night, those winds become breezier as the storm system approaches.
Brief Rebound Before More Showers
Columbus Day brings a welcome reset, with partly sunny skies and a high near 76. Another round of showers and thunderstorms becomes possible Tuesday afternoon and evening, followed by cooler, mostly cloudy weather Wednesday with a high near 64.
