CLEVELAND — A weak front will move through tonight. It will bring more clouds and an isolated shower chance after midnight, but most will stay dry. Temperatures will bottom out in the mid to upper 30s across most locations by dawn on Saturday.

The weekend will be much colder, especially Saturday night and into Sunday. 40s north and 50s inland for midday Saturday will plummet to the low 20s by Sunday morning, with a few snow showers likely after sunset with a clipper. Temps struggle even to reach 30, with many locations only topping off in the upper 20s on Sunday. A quick inch or two is possible with this clipper Saturday evening through early Sunday morning, mainly in the snowbelt, where temperatures will support accumulations rather than melting snow.

Then, we are keeping a close eye on the start of next workweek as two separate storms could both impact us, with the first storm likely missing the area. Monday's storm, as of now, is expected to slide south and keep the area cold in the upper 20s and lower 30s. Tuesday's storm is now expected to be stronger and warmer, meaning a faster transition from mix/ice to rain. This storm will then be the start of a major pattern change. Spring might finally be here for more than just a day or two by the end of the week! Stay tuned for updates on that.
