CLEVELAND, Ohio – We’re on another roller coaster ride of weather in Cleveland this weekend.
Thursday night, a strong cold front dipped temperatures through Friday to a low of 16 degrees. One day later, today’s high is expected to reach in the low to mid 40s because of both a warm front and southerly flow.
As warm as this may sound, this still doesn’t come close to the record of 73 degrees set back in 1932.

Cleveland had snow this week, thanks to a blast of Arctic air and a low pressure system. Today, with warm weather and rain in the forecast, the scene switched from winter white to sodden brown.
This is actually a continuing pattern, as Cleveland has seen many extreme temperature fluctuations this winter:
