CLEVELAND, OH – If you thought we were done with winter, think again. The first half of this week will be mostly rainy and mild, but by midweek, strong winds will roll in, and we could even see some snow Wednesday night.

Yep—spring is trying to push through, but winter isn’t letting go just yet. Here’s what you need to know so you don’t get caught off guard.

Monday, March 4 – Cloudy & Chilly with a Few Showers

• High: 42°F (6°C)
• Low: 23°F (-5°C)
• Mostly cloudy, with a few passing showers.

Monday is one of those gray, chilly, classic Cleveland days. There won’t be a ton of rain, but it’ll be damp and dreary.

You might notice a little breeze picking up—it’s a sign of what’s coming later this week.

Tuesday, March 5 – Milder but Rainy

• High: 51°F (11°C)
• Low: 41°F (5°C)
• Scattered rain showers on and off all day.

Tuesday will feel a little better temperature-wise, but the trade-off is more rain. It won’t be a total washout, but you’ll definitely want an umbrella if you’re out and about.

If you’re driving, be careful—rain mixing with leftover salt on the roads can make things slick.

Wednesday, March 6 – Windy, Wet, & A Sudden Temperature Drop

• High: 56°F (13°C)
• Low: 30°F (-1°C)
• Rainy & overcast most of the day.
• Strong winds gusting up to 40+ mph by the afternoon.

Wednesday starts mild and rainy, but things go downhill fast.

By the afternoon, wind gusts could top 40 mph—strong enough to knock over trash cans and make driving tricky.

If you’ve got patio furniture, trash bins, or anything lightweight outside, make sure it’s secured before the wind starts tossing things around.

Wednesday Night Into Thursday – Wait…Snow?!

• Low: 30°F (-1°C)
• Rain will switch to snow overnight.

As the cold air rushes in Wednesday night, the rain could turn into snow.

• We’re not expecting a big snowstorm, but even a light dusting on wet roads can create icy spots, especially on bridges and overpasses.
• The wind will still be strong overnight, making it feel even colder.

If you have an early commute Thursday, plan for extra time in case roads are slick.

How to Get Through This Week’s Weather Madness

Secure Outdoor Items – Trash bins, patio chairs, holiday decorations—anything light enough to blow away should be tied down or brought inside.

Plan for a Wet & Windy Midweek – Wednesday is looking messy, so layer up and keep an umbrella handy.

Watch for Icy Roads Late Wednesday Night – That rain-to-snow transition + freezing temps could make for some slick spots.

Check for Weather Updates – Forecasts can change, especially with temperature swings like this.
