CLEVELAND — After another brutally cold start with lows near 0º and wind chills as low as -20º, it has rebounded significantly this afternoon. Highs soared to 31º in Cleveland, juuust shy of the freezing mark, making it 18 straight days of sub-freezing temps. Still cold, but it's progress. And there's even more progress on the way.
Our first day above 32º is tomorrow. The first time above freezing in 19 days. That's where the streak ends, at 18, and the longest since 2015, which had 19 straight sub-freezing days.
Tomorrow's 40º will feel relatively nice, but it'll be breezy, and clouds will be rolling in.
Those clouds are in advance of the chill coming back. Winds shift, and temps take a dive midweek. We're back subfreezing with lake effect snow Wednesday through early Thursday with a couple of inches possible, mainly in the primary snowbelt.
