URGENT UPDATE: A Frost Advisory is now in effect for Northeast Ohio and Northwest Pennsylvania, warning residents of a significant drop in temperatures. The advisory, issued by the National Weather Service in Cleveland, runs from midnight tonight until 9 AM EDT Thursday, confirming that winter’s chill is officially upon us.
As temperatures are forecasted to plummet into the low to mid-30s, residents are urged to protect their gardens and delicate plants. This advisory serves as a timely reminder that the season’s frosty bite is here, compelling many to dig out their warmest blankets and jackets.
While high pressure settles over the region, the forecast remains calm, but the risk of frost late tonight is very real. Although rain showers from Michigan are lingering nearby, significant precipitation is unlikely, with only minimal traces expected.
Looking ahead, the tranquil weather will soon shift. A warm front is anticipated to push through on Friday night, potentially bringing scattered rain showers to the northern part of the region. By Saturday, temperatures are projected to soar into the upper 70s, reaching near 80°F, as the autumn chill temporarily retreats.
For those venturing out on Lake Erie, conditions are expected to improve as the Small Craft Advisory is set to lift at 10 AM today. However, mariners should prepare for rapidly changing conditions over the weekend, as a strong cold front approaches. Winds are expected to shift to the west, escalating to 20 to 25 knots, which may prompt further advisories and a low water warning for western Lake Erie.
Stay tuned for further updates as this weather situation develops, and take precautions against the impending frost tonight!
