Akron’s Tuesday forecast calls for a high near 76 degrees after a cloudy start in the low 60s, with mostly sunny skies later. South winds could gust to around 20 mph in the afternoon. No weather alerts are in effect for the area.
How unusual is a 76-degree high?
For seasonal context, Cleveland.com’s Akron-Canton figures put the normal high at 55 degrees at the start of November. Tuesday’s 76-degree forecast is 21 degrees higher; that comparison is to the normal high, not a daily record.
A Mild Tuesday, Then Wednesday Rain
Tuesday night is expected to remain partly cloudy and mild, with a low around 58 degrees. Rain is forecast to reach the Akron area after noon Wednesday, November 4.
Wednesday could reach 74 degrees before the rain moves in. South winds may gust up to 29 mph, and the forecast calls for about a quarter- to half-inch of rain through Wednesday night.
Thursday: Morning Showers, Then Sun
A few showers may persist until 7 a.m. Thursday, November 5, followed by mostly sunny skies and a high near 68 degrees. Rain chances return Friday afternoon and Friday night.
A Cooler Weekend Ahead
Friday’s high is forecast near 64 degrees, with Saturday and Sunday reaching about 56. Overnight lows are expected to fall into the upper 30s and low 40s.
What Longer-Term Climate Data Show
For broader climate context—not an explanation for this warm spell—the 2025 State Climate Summaries for Ohio report that the state’s annual average temperature has increased almost 2°F since the beginning of the 20th century. That statewide annual finding does not establish a specific autumn trend or a trend for Northeast Ohio. The same summaries report an upward trend in the number of statewide 2-inch extreme precipitation events since the middle of the 20th century. That trend does not show that this week’s forecast rain is extreme or that this particular forecast reflects the trend.
Light rain remains possible over the weekend, particularly Saturday, though sunny breaks are also in the forecast. After Tuesday’s warmth, Akron’s outlook turns wetter and cooler.
