CLEVELAND — Rain! We need it...and we're going to get it today as an area of low pressure rotates through northern Ohio. Expect a rainy morning and midday before it becomes more scattered this afternoon.
It will be breezy and cool today with temps steady in the mid to upper 40s. That's it.
Temps will remain steady tonight in the 40s with clouds and a few lingering showers. Expect stubborn clouds on Friday with a few showers as temps rise a few degrees into the low 50s.
The weekend looks dry at this point with leftover clouds Saturday and another fairly cloudy day Sunday. Temps will begin to rise Sunday as a series of low pressure systems begin to develop well to our west. We should push into the upper 50s Sunday.
Get used to the clouds. We're entering our cloudiest months of the year as the low sun angle in combination with cold air off the lake (producing lake effect clouds). Any days we get with sunshine are an added bonus from here on out!
Looking long-term, a bigger pattern change looks to take place next week, which looks to bring us a colder and potentially snowier Thanksgiving week. A series of low pressure systems will move through the central and northern Plains, dragging a large pool of cold air into the center of the U.S.
It will only be a matter of time before this all moves east. Still too early to tell, but there is some indication we get our first true shot of cold air and even lake snow chances later next week. LOTS of time to track this pattern change, but we're always trying to keep you ahead of anything we see! Stay tuned!
