As Cleveland braces for a week filled with shifting weather patterns, residents can expect everything from patchy fog to potentially impactful snow accumulations, according to the latest forecast from the National Weather Service in Cleveland. Early risers in Northwest Ohio were greeted with fog this morning, which forecasters predicted to clear by noon. With a weak frontal boundary creeping south across Lake Erie, the area saw a split with scattered and broken clouds while temperatures hovered a comfy 10 degrees above the norm.
Following the tranquility of today’s weather, things are set to ramp up with a low-pressure system making its way over the Great Lakes region by Wednesday. According to theNational Weather Service’s forecast discussion, Cleveland can expect “an area of low pressure…pulling a strong cold front east across the area.” It’s not just a dose of rain in the forecast; the upcoming days could churn into a concoction of winds and wet snow, to which forecasters admit “confidence in the placement and magnitude” of these impacts remains sketchy.
Tuesday is slated to be dampened by rain as a line of convection approaches, enveloping areas by nighttime with rainfall up to 0.4 inches west of I-71. The encroaching cold front sets the stage for a more tumultuous Wednesday to Thursday, with rapidly dropping temperatures and snow that favors inland locations away from Lake Erie. Forecast discussions hint at stronger low pressure propagating near the lake, amplifying gusty winds post-frontal passage risks, which could potentially escalate to gale force.
Mariners are advised to heed caution, with theNational Weather Service Marine forecastanticipating “a prolonged Small Craft Advisory beginning at some point Wednesday and lasting well into the weekend.” Coastal winds could rev beyond advisory criteria, edging into gale territory, especially through Wednesday night and Thursday. While the exact trajectory of the low-pressure system remains in the air, the consensus underscores a notably breezy and wet end to the week for Clevelanders on land and at sea.
By the weekend, the weather drama should temper as conditions begin to dry up with the intervention of high pressure poised to exert its influence. Yet the reminder stands, particularly with the uncertainty swirling around the upcoming system’s strength and trajectory, that Cleveland’s weather tapestry remains dynamic and preparedness, as ever, should be woven into the fabric of the week’s plans.
