CLEVELAND — Get ready for chilly temperatures tonight! Clear skies and light winds mean it'll be chilly! Temps are dropping into the 40s across much of Northeast Ohio by Friday morning. It's the first truly chilly night we've had in quite some time, and you may want a jacket if you're heading out early.
Power of 5 Regions Spotlight: Snowbelt Region:
As with most nights across NEO, the mild water of Lake Erie will prevent the temperatures along the immediate lakeshore from dropping as much. It will still be chilly, with temperatures in the low 50s and upper 40s, but it will be even colder farther inland. The snowbelt region shows this dramatic spread of temperatures well. Mentor will be around 50 degrees, but Orwell in southern Ashtabula could dip into the upper 30s! Brrr.
Fabulous First Weekend of Fall:
After a chilled morning, the rest of Friday is quiet with a few more clouds and highs once again in the mid-to-upper 60s. The extra clouds will likely prevent much of NEO from getting to the low 70s. The weekend forecast looks fantastic. Highs will jump a couple of degrees and hold close to 70 both Saturday and Sunday with dry weather and a little less chill at night.
Browns Home Opener Forecast
It doesn't get much better than this for late September football weather. Sunday's Browns home opener is shaping up to be gorgeous from start to finish. Tailgaters will enjoy cool morning temps and plenty of sunshine. By kickoff, readings will be comfortably near 67 with low humidity. We stay great through halftime and into the afternoon with no weather worries.
Looking Ahead
The dry stretch continues into early next week with seasonable temps and comfortable nights. The next meaningful chance for rain doesn't arrive until Wednesday of next week. Enjoy the sunshine and the taste of fall while it lasts!
