CLEVELAND — The air this week will have a very Spring-like feel as highs struggle to reach 70 degrees Wednesday and Thursday and overnight lows drop quickly into the 40s each night. With northerly winds persisting through Friday, more wildfire smoke is expected across the area at times. Air quality will be affected with hazy skies. Persons sensitive to pollution, those with allergies and asthma should use caution while outside this week.
For those who want some rain, isolated light showers are possible in the northeast corner of Ohio Thursday afternoon and Friday afternoon. Better news: it appears this dry pattern will finally break, allowing scattered rain showers to move in for Sunday and early Monday of next week! Cleveland has not received rain in over two weeks. Early stages of drought have begun to show up across NE Ohio, so it is important to get beneficial rain soon.
What To Expect:
- Chilly & hazy overnight
- Lows in the 40s
- High temps struggle to near 70 Thursday
- More wildfire smoke Thursday & Friday
- Next legit rain chance arrives Sunday late PM
