CLEVELAND —
Drier & Cooler Start to the weekend
Widespread rain moved in this morning, but tapered off slowly throughout the afternoon with a few final showers this evening in our southern region. As the rain rolled through, the temperatures quickly dropped with a northerly breeze. The clouds are the last to go, but will be clearing out tonight and into Saturday morning.
It will be in the 40s for much of NEO Saturday morning. It will remain slightly milder along the lake shore with temps in the 50s. On the flip side, a couple of spots will be flirting with the 30s! Sunshine sticks around on Saturday, with afternoon temperatures a couple of degrees milder than Friday afternoon. Plan for mid-60s.
Power of 5 Regional Highlight: CLE Metro
Cleveland was a HOT spot on Thursday...not only with the summer-like temperatures in the 80s, but because of the Cleveland Browns. While the temperatures have cooled, let's hope the Guardians bring the heat on the ball field with a win for the game in the playoff series against the Chicago White Sox.
A second shot of cold air ahead:
Temperatures just took a BIG hit this morning. It was 78 degrees at Burke Lakefront in Cleveland before the rain began, and temps dropped 15 degrees in about an hour. We'll spend much of the day in the lower 60s. Friday night football will feel much different than recent weeks. Temperatures fall back into the 50s with a clearing sky developing Friday evening, with lows in the 40s for much of NEO.
The weekend looks and feels much more like October. Just like the baseball saying 'fall classic,' it will be classic fall weather. Highs stay in the 60s, while mornings start in the 40s. If you've been waiting for sweater weather, it's here. Grab the fall jackets because the cooler pattern sticks around through the first half of next week. We also remain dry for days to come.
With the lingering chill, we may even see our first frost away from the lakeshore by Tuesday morning!
