CLEVELAND, Ohio – It’s going to be a roller coaster of weather this week in Northeast Ohio. Showers will spark tonight and last through most of the day Tuesday, when temperatures are forecasted to reach a balmy 60 degrees. This means Cleveland could tie or even possibly break the record of 60 degrees set back in 1925. Akron’s temperature record for Tuesday is 61 degrees, also set in 1925.
A cold front will drop temperatures back to seasonable averages the rest of the week, with light snow flurries possible. Friday will stay mostly clear.

The How
High pressure will slowly drift east today across Ohio, keeping skies mostly sunny through the evening. Tonight, a strong low pressure system will take its place. Tuesday morning, a strong warm front will follow, and both the low and warm front will spark rain showers. The combination of both a warm front and southerly flow dragging in even more warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico could produce the record high temperatures, and possible thunderstorms.
Wednesday, a near-stalling cold front will dip temperatures the rest of the week, causing very slight chances of some snow flurries through Thursday.
Friday, a high pressure system will return again, keeping skies partly cloudy.
