Cleveland is getting one more warm-weather fake-out Tuesday, with cloudy skies giving way to sunshine and temperatures climbing to about 76 degrees. The break will be brief: rain takes over Wednesday afternoon, followed by a wetter and cooler stretch into the weekend.
Tuesday Brings A Rare November Warm-Up
Tuesday afternoon should turn mostly sunny, with south winds around 13 mph and a high near 76. The evening stays mild and partly cloudy, with temperatures settling near 61 overnight.
The latest National Weather Service outlook puts the warm spell in context: early November warmth peaks Tuesday before a storm system pushes through northern Ohio. There are currently no watches, warnings or advisories posted for the area.
Rain Arrives Wednesday Afternoon
Wednesday starts partly sunny, but rain is expected after noon as temperatures reach about 73 degrees. South winds will run 13 to 17 mph, with gusts up to 28 mph, so umbrellas may not be the only thing getting a workout.
Rain continues Wednesday night, when the chance of precipitation rises to 90 percent and another quarter to half-inch of rainfall is possible. Overnight lows should fall to around 56, with wind gusts reaching close to 29 mph.
Thursday Clears Before A Cooler Weekend
A brief improvement arrives Thursday, with a chance of rain before 7 a.m. followed by mostly sunny skies and a high near 67. Friday brings another chance of rain, while highs slide to about 62.
The weekend looks cooler and occasionally unsettled, with temperatures in the mid-50s and rain chances lingering Saturday and Sunday. Tuesday is the best window for outdoor plans; after that, Cleveland gets the usual early-November trade-off of gray skies, showers and jackets.
