CLEVELAND — Feeling like Spring for the last day of February with highs in the lower 50s. But as March begins, another shot of Arctic Air will come roaring in from the north for Saturday and Sunday.

A strong arctic cold front will blast across the area tonight. A few isolated rain showers cannot be ruled out ahead of that front. Once the front moves by, the cold air takes over. Temperatures will fall into the 20s by 8 or 9 am Saturday and then slowly fall into the lower 20s thru the day. Gusty winds will keep wind chills in the teens. Expect to see a few snow showers sliding in off of Lake Erie during your Saturday, especially during the morning hours.

Low temperatures Saturday night will fall into the teens. So, grab your warm coats. We'll keep a few flurries in for Saturday night east of Cleveland.

We stay cold Sunday with highs in the upper 20s and lower 30s. We should see some sunshine during the day.

The whiplash weather continues next week. Temperatures will rebound as we begin the new work week with highs pushing into the 50s and flirting with 60s by Wednesday....before another drop.
