Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Cleveland OH
131 AM EDT Sat Oct 31 2026

.WHAT HAS CHANGED...
No major changes needed with this update.

&&

.KEY MESSAGES...
1) High pressure will allow for quiet weather and near-normal
temperatures into this weekend.

2) Scattered and periodic showers are possible next week.

&&

.DISCUSSION...
KEY MESSAGE 1...
High pressure will anchor over the region for the weekend,
resulting in dry weather and near-normal temperatures. Despite
the dry weather, there will likely be a high cloud deck so
sunshine will probably be filtered. Highs over the weekend will
be in the 60s, although inland locations along/east of I-71 may
reach the lower 70s. Overnight lows will be quite chilly in the
lower 30s to lower 40s. Any near-freezing temperatures will be
confined to NE OH/NW PA and increasing clouds will likely
mitigate any frost where the growing season is still valid.
Overnight lows will begin to warm Saturday and especially Sunday
nights with more widespread 40s and lower 50s anticipated.


KEY MESSAGE 2...
The high will drift east by Monday, allowing southerly flow to
return to the local area for early next week. This will allow
temperatures to warm further (likely into the 70s). The best
chance of showers next week will be as a cold front approaches
and crosses the area Wednesday and Thursday, but warm air
advection early in the week will allow potential for a low- end
risk of showers Monday and Tuesday. There`s still considerable
uncertainty in the progression of the midweek system and
therefore overall confidence in the timing/placement of any
precipitation is low at this point.

&&

.AVIATION /06Z Saturday THROUGH Wednesday/...
As high pressure migrates east of the airspace today, mid-level
ceilings will enter the region and blanket all of the terminals
by this afternoon. Winds will be generally light and out of the
east to southeast. There could be some form of a lake breeze to
impact KERI this afternoon.

Outlook...Non-VFR possible in rain on Tuesday night into
Wednesday.

&&

.MARINE...
East/southeast winds around 10 knots with periods of light winds
are expected this evening through much of Sunday before flow
becomes more southerly Sunday night through Monday. South winds
will increase to 10 to 15 knots early Tuesday through mid to
late week and winds may approach 20 knots at some point
Wednesday morning. The passage of a cold front will allow winds
to shift to the north/northeast Thursday night and Small Craft
Advisories may be needed for portions of the lake as onshore
winds approach 20 knots next Friday.
