CLEVELAND — Bright, but BREEZY! It won't have a big impact on your day, but you'll notice the wind. Gusts to 20 mph out of the northeast will make it dangerous on Lake Erie. Waves will be 3-6 feet with rip currents likely. Small Craft Advisories and Rip Currents are nothing to mess around with.
The stronger winds are thanks to a cold front moving through the area. This is a dry front, though, so rain chances remain zero. However, there will be cooler temperatures on Wednesday, and highs will be about 5-10 degrees cooler, with highs in the low to mid 70s, which is a bit more typical this time of year.
The seasonable temperatures are short-lived, though! Temperatures get a boost by the end of the week, and 80s look likely by this weekend! HOTober!
Rain chances appear to be on hold for the next week, so you'll need to keep the plants watered once again. September ended below average for all of Northeast Ohio. In Cleveland, it was the sixth driest September ever, with only 0.75 inches of rain at Cleveland Hopkins Airport. The current streak of dry days is 5, and that will likely grow to 9 or 10 at minimum, with the next chance for rain holding off until Tuesday, or maybe even Wednesday...of NEXT week.
