Cleveland is starting Thursday under clear skies and temperatures in the mid-50s, but the city is headed for a late-October temperature plot twist: sunshine and a high near 76. Southwest winds will run 8 to 13 mph as the warmest stretch of the week builds. Then the umbrella gets a brief cameo Thursday night, with showers most likely after 7 p.m.
Near-Record Warmth Gives Way To Night Showers
The National Weather Service says Thursday’s high could come within a couple degrees of Cleveland’s October 29 record of 78, set in 2024. Rain chances stay close to zero through the afternoon, but scattered showers are likely between roughly 7 p.m. and midnight, with brief moderate showers possible.
Winds will shift from southwest to west behind the front, running 8 to 12 mph Thursday night. No watches, warnings or advisories are in effect for Cleveland, where showers remain possible Thursday night.
Cooler Friday, Cloudier Halloween
Friday flips sunnier but cooler, topping out near 69 with northwest winds of 6 to 9 mph. Friday night dips to around 44 under partly cloudy skies, setting up a mostly cloudy Saturday near 68 for Halloween.
Saturday’s weather should stay mostly dry for outdoor plans, even if the sky looks more gray than spooky. Saturday night turns cloudy with a low near 49, while Sunday stays mild near 68 with mostly cloudy skies.
Rain Chances Return Next Week
A small chance of showers arrives Sunday night and lingers into Monday, when Cleveland could see morning rain before partial sunshine and a high near 67. The outlook trends toward lower precipitation chances Sunday night and a drier Monday, while rain chances increase again Tuesday and Wednesday as highs remain in the upper 60s.
