Cleveland Braces for Gusty Winds and Rain as Successive Cold Fronts Sweep Through

Cleveland is gearing up for a pair of cold fronts that will bring turbulent weather to the region. According to the National Weather Service in Cleveland, a warm front connected to low pressure over the Upper Midwest lifted north earlier today, followed by a cold front sweeping east across the area this evening.

The weather is expected to deliver a soggy forecast for today, with rain totals ranging from half an inch to an inch in some areas. “Rain is rapidly spreading east across the area as expected but dewpoint depressions in the east remain around 25 degrees so virga is expected initially before rain reaches the surface in the next couple hours,” the

report outlined. Despite the strong winds aloft, an inversion and good rain coverage are anticipated to prevent the wind from mixing down to the surface, keeping the stronger winds elevated.

The cold front’s arrival is associated with gusty winds and the potential for brief gusts reaching 40 mph, mainly this evening. While a wind advisory is not expected, areas near Lake Erie could experience wind gusts up to 35 mph overnight.

The region will see a secondary cold front moving Southeast across the area on Monday night. Despite this, high-pressure building in through mid-week suggests a quieter weather spell is on the horizon. “Highs will struggle to reach the 50s on Tuesday as lake-effect cloud cover should linger for much of the morning under the chilly air mass,” noted the forecast discussion from the

. However, temperatures are expected to rebound by Wednesday into the mid to upper 50s as the upper-level ridge becomes centered across the Great Lakes.

The marine outlook is also choppy, with the NWS issuing a Small Craft Advisory for some regions of Lake Erie, which will be in effect until Tuesday morning. Gale-force gusts are possible, particularly in the central and eastern basins, as successive cold fronts affect the area. Boaters are advised to remain cautious during elevated winds and rough lake conditions. As the weather system moves, northerly winds are forecast to decrease by Tuesday afternoon, leading to more stable conditions midweek.
