Saturday in Akron will bring scattered lake-effect showers and brisk west-to-northwest winds. The afternoon should stay mostly gray, but temperatures will climb near 50, with showers continuing into this evening.
The National Weather Service says west-to-northwest winds will run 10 to 12 knots Saturday, with periodic gusts of 20 to 22 knots. The broader Northeast Ohio snowbelt could see more frequent lake-effect showers, with scattered showers expected today into this evening.
Saturday Night Turns Cold
Saturday night will remain mostly cloudy, with temperatures dropping to around 33 degrees and west winds easing to about 7 mph. That will make for a chilly finish to the weekend’s first day, even if widespread rain stays away.
Sunny Sunday Starts A Warmer Stretch
Sunday brings a sharp improvement, with sunny skies and a high near 57 degrees. Southwest winds of 6 to 15 mph could gust up to 30 mph, so outdoor plans may be pleasant but breezy.
Mostly sunny weather continues Monday with a high near 56, followed by the warmest day of the stretch Tuesday, when Akron could reach 64 degrees under sunny skies. The pattern turns more unsettled late next week, with rain possible Thursday and a chance of rain and snow Thursday night into Friday as temperatures fall back into the 30s and 40s.
