Akron is starting Tuesday clear and around 41 degrees, but the thermometer has plenty of room to climb. Sunshine should push the high near 62, making this the week’s easiest window for errands, walks and outdoor work before the forecast turns wetter and colder.
Sunny Tuesday Gives Way To A Cloudier Veterans Day
Tuesday night will be mostly clear with lows in the mid 30s, followed by a mostly cloudy Veterans Day and a high around 58. Winds should stay light through Wednesday, though rain chances are expected to rise Wednesday night as the next system moves in, according to the National Weather Service in Cleveland.
The timing is a sharper turn than the earlier outlook, which had already warned of a late-week cooldown. Akron’s updated forecast now points to a damp Wednesday night, with rainfall amounts between a tenth and a quarter of an inch possible and temperatures settling near 42 degrees.
Thursday Looks Wet And Blustery
Rain should continue before 7 a.m. Thursday, then turn into showers through the day. The high is expected to reach the mid to upper 40s, with a 90% chance of rain and north winds between 6 and 13 mph; gusts could approach 30 mph, making the morning commute and outdoor plans feel decidedly less friendly.
Rain And Snow Showers Enter The Weekend
Friday brings a chance of rain, with snow possibly mixing in, and highs from the upper 30s to mid-40s. Rain and snow are likely Friday night and Saturday as temperatures hover near freezing overnight, though the weather service says impactful snow accumulation remains unlikely in most of the Akron area.
Saturday brings a 40% chance of rain and snow with highs in the mid-40s. Conditions should begin improving Sunday, when partly sunny skies and a high near 46 are expected, followed by a somewhat milder Monday near 50.
Open Burning Reminder
Dry air and breezy conditions Tuesday also come with a seasonal reminder: The National Weather Service says Ohio’s open burn ban remains in effect through November. Anyone considering burning leaves or yard waste should check local restrictions before lighting up, especially before winds increase.
