It may be hard to believe after multiple 70 and 80-degree days this week, including today, but a hard freeze is likely for most of the News 5 viewing area starting Sunday night.

The National Weather Service has issued a Freeze Watch for several counties for Sunday night. The following counties will be under this watch from 11 p.m. on Sunday until 11 a.m. on Monday:

  • Ashland
  • Ashtabula
  • Cuyahoga
  • Erie
  • Geauga
  • Holmes
  • Huron
  • Lake
  • Lorain
  • Medina
  • Portage
  • Richland
  • Stark
  • Summit
  • Tuscarawas
  • Wayne

Temperatures will drop from the 70s to the 30s Saturday night, and highs will only remain in the 40s Sunday along the lake, lower 50s inland.

Some light lake-effect snow is also possible Sunday night through Monday morning, as this wintry weather pattern will persist through Tuesday. It will likely be even colder Monday night, with a hard freeze possible for Cleveland itself.
