Cleveland Area Forecast: Weather Rollercoaster with Temps Swinging from Mid-50s to Low 60s

Residents in and around Cleveland

brace yourselves for some good old Midwestern weather swings. According to the

National Weather Service Cleveland

, a low-pressure system will cut across the Lower Great Lakes region tonight through Thursday, with a reprieve on Friday

and then high pressure dominating through the weekend.

Today’s forecast holds a brief calm before the storm with an upper-level ridge nudging its way in, and you can look forward to above-average temps in the mid-50s, but keep your ChapStick handy because it will be dry. The area’s seen a particularly dry low and mid-level air mass. Relative humidity could fall to the thirsty low 30s or upper 20s by evening. The looming low-pressure system could turn up winds to 40 to 45 knots late night into Tuesday morning but is expected not to deliver any significant gusts on the surface, except maybe along the lakeshore of Northwest Pennsylvania—think periodic gusts of 35 to 40 mph.

As Thursday rolls in or rolls out, depending on how you see the beginning or the end of something, that same upper-level low will slide southeast and leave Northeast Ohio a little wetter than preferred, with a chance of showers persisting through Friday night. Temperature-wise, “forecast to be in the low 50s Friday and mid 50s Saturday” as high pressure retakes the reigns, according to the

National Weather Service Cleveland

weather discussion.

Looking ahead into the long term, Sunday through Tuesday promises above-normal temperatures, peaking in the upper 50s to low 60s on Sunday. Now that’s weather the majority can get behind, but uncertainty lingers for precipitation and where it might choose to make an appearance; “Best chances look to be near or downwind of Lake Erie on Sunday night as the trough crosses the eastern Great Lakes,” the

National Weather Service Cleveland

explains. Expect enough wind to potentially warrant Small Craft Advisory conditions on the marine side of things, though most winds will thankfully falter just a touch below that mark. 15-20 knots aren’t precisely what sailors would call calm seas either.

To all the Cleveland area folks, it sounds like it’s a week for warm coats and rain boots—stay dry and hold onto your hats!
