Cleveland, OH
Blustery start to Northeast Ohio’s week, with wintry mix possible Tuesday
CLEVELAND, Ohio — Northeast Ohio starts the week cold and blustery on Monday before a wintry mix moves in Tuesday morning, bringing a brief round of snow, sleet and cold rain to the region.
High pressure will quickly build Monday over the Ohio Valley, offering a mostly dry setup. Skies will turn mostly sunny west of Cleveland with lake-effect clouds hanging on to the east.
Highs will range from the upper 30s to low 40s near the lakeshore and in the snowbelt to the low to mid 40s south and west of Cleveland.
Northwest winds of 14 to 16 mph, with gusts up to 26 mph, will make it feel about 5 to 10 degrees colder at times.
Temperatures will fall back into the mid to upper 20s overnight Monday as clouds increase ahead of the next system.
Wintry mix Tuesday morning
A fast-moving area of low pressure will slide through the Ohio Valley Tuesday, spreading a shield of mixed precipitation into Northeast Ohio around daybreak and during the morning commute.
Most spots will begin with light snow or a rain-snow mix, with a brief window for sleet farther south closer to Akron.
Any frozen precipitation is expected to be minor, accumulating a trace to a few tenths of an inch, at most. A few slick spots could be possible where this mix is persistent, especially in the snowbelt where the air will be the coldest.
As temperatures rise into the upper 30s and low 40s by midday, the mix is expected to change over to plain rain. Cold, damp weather will continue through the afternoon before showers taper off in the evening.
Dry midweek, rain returns late week
High pressure builds back across the Great Lakes Tuesday night into Wednesday, leading to a dry but seasonably cool day. Highs Wednesday will reach the mid to upper 40s with lingering clouds.
Another system is expected to approach from the Mississippi Valley late Thursday, bringing rain chances back to the region. Forecast confidence drops late in the week as the weather pattern turns more active, but temperatures are expected to stay mild enough to prevent any frozen precipitation.
Highs Thursday will climb into the low and mid 50s.
More rain chances this weekend
Looking ahead to the weekend, another system may track near the Ohio Valley Friday into Saturday, bringing additional rain chances — especially south of Cleveland toward Akron.
Confidence remains low on the exact track and timing, but temperatures should stay in the upper 40s to low 50s, keeping the precipitation all rain.
Sunday currently looks like the better chance for a dry day.

Among the Democratic Party primary races Signal Cleveland is following is the one for Ohio House District 19, which has drawn three major candidates to the open seat. (Incumbent Phillip Robinson Jr., of Solon, is term-limited.) The district includes Cleveland’s Old Brooklyn neighborhood and all or portions of a string of eastern and southeastern suburbs.
The Cuyahoga County Democratic Party’s endorsed candidate is Nicole Sigurdson, a Cleveland resident and union organizer with SEIU District 1199 who narrowly won enough support to secure the party’s influential backing.
But Sigurdson has been under fire from fellow party members and others for a comment she made on social media in 2025 about the Israel-Hamas war. Her comment – which she has since deleted – especially stood out because her district includes communities with sizable Jewish populations, including Solon and Pepper Pike.
In the post, Sigurdson shared an image of the Palestinian flag that read, “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free.” It was a phrase used by protesters against the war. Prior, it was used for years by some advocating for the elimination of the state of Israel. And it’s been a slogan used by terrorist groups.
She posted a video earlier this year apologizing for the post.
“The post contained an image with an antisemitic slogan of which I failed to grasp the full significance of,” she said. “At the time, several people reached out to me expressing their hurt and sharing the full context of the phrase. After listening carefully to their concerns, I immediately deleted the post, but I should have known not to post it at all.”
Signal asked Sigurdson what motivated her original post. She said it was made in reaction to seeing a lot of coverage of Palestinian civilian deaths in Gaza during the war. (The Hamas terrorist attack in Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, killed 1,200 civilians and Hamas took 250 people hostage. Israeli’s military response left tens of thousands of civilians in Gaza dead.)
“I made them out of humanitarian concern, wanting autonomy for all people, wanting safety for all people,” Sigurdson said. “And part of what has driven me to politics is I never want to shy away from controversial topics.”
Fliers were recently mailed to residents in Solon attacking Sigurdson for her antisemitic comments. One flyer featured the headlines from a Cleveland Jewish News story about the comments. “Nicole Sigurdson is wrong for Ohio,” it read.
Sigurdson is campaigning around workers’ rights, including increasing the minimum wage, protecting the environment and the need to be more “caring about people.”
She faces two candidates in the primary: Dionne M. Gore of Solon, who works for Medical Mutual and is backed by Robinson; and Cheryl Perez, a small business owner from Brecksville, who was endorsed by Cleveland.com/The Plain Dealer.
(There was only one Republican primary candidate, but he recently died unexpectedly.)
