Forecast: A warm-up is finally in sight

CLEVELAND — The sub-zero wind chills have been around all day Saturday and to start off Sunday morning. A Cold Weather Advisory expires at 10 a.m. Sunday for most areas east of I-77, where the temperature and wind combination have made it feel like 15 below zero. This does not include Cleveland or Akron. That is despite lows reaching -7 in Cleveland and -10 in Akron, the coldest of the week, and the second coldest of the winter so far.

A very weak clipper missed the area to the west, as forecast, avoiding any additional accumulation this morning. More sunshine, yet highs only ‘warm’ into the mid to upper teens this afternoon, with single-digit wind chills.

Highs will rebound, above freezing, for the first time in 19 days on Tuesday. Monday will be a transition day with highs into the upper 20s with increasing clouds. A warm front is expected to be mostly dry, but a brief round of freezing drizzle can’t be ruled out, especially near the lakeshore.
