Morning lows are freezing with clear skies and temperatures in the 20s to low 30s. By midday, we’ll begin to push the 40s to low 50s and continue to climb this afternoon.


What You Need To Know

  • We’ll have a cold start with a mild finish
  • We’ll have lake-effect snow late Wednesday in the northeast
  • The Ohio River hits minor flood stage and potentially moderate tonight 

Today will be the warmest day through the workweek with highs in the 50s to near 60 further south. Dry skies remain in place as high pressure is in control. 

A cold front drops into the Ohio valley tonight and will cool us off again by Thursday while also producing some lake-effect snow showers mainly in northern and northeastern Ohio. Snow flurries/showers taper off early Thursday, and we will wake up to freezing temperatures with mostly cloudy skies.

Clouds clear by Thursday afternoon, and we’ll see plenty of sunshine wrapping up the week! Expect highs to be chillier tomorrow in the 30s and 40s.

Friday is sunny but cooler with highs holding steady in the 30s and 40s. No major weather system arrives even through your weekend forecast.
