The National Weather Service in Cleveland has announced a shift in weather patterns as high pressure exits the region, making way for unseasonably warm temperatures and increased humidity. A warm front is expected to lift across the area late tonight into Monday morning, bringing brisk south to southwest winds and cloud cover. Highs on Monday are projected to reach the upper 60s to mid-70s, significantly above the seasonal norm for early November.
While rain chances remain minimal, some isolated showers may graze the Toledo area on Monday. Lows tonight will be milder, ranging from the 40s in far eastern Ohio and Pennsylvania to the mid-50s along the I-75 corridor. However, with increasing humidity and gusty winds of 25 to 35 mph, there is concern for the potential spread of brush fires due to dry conditions from dormant vegetation. Following this warm spell, a cold front is set to move through the region by Tuesday night or early Wednesday, leading to a return of high pressure by the end of the week.
