Overview

• Temperatures are struggling to reach 70°F Monday, with highs Tuesday and Wednesday running 10–15°F below normal.
• Overnight lows in some inland areas could dip into the upper 40s Tuesday and Wednesday nights, potentially challenging records.
• Cool air passing over warm Lake Erie is generating scattered lake-effect showers with limited coverage under 30–40% but locally heavy downpours possible.
• A Small Craft Advisory is in effect through Monday evening for choppy conditions and 2–4 foot or higher waves on Lake Erie, with a risk for waterspouts.
• A Beach Hazard Statement warns of a high rip-current risk for swimmers, and a slight late-week warmup is expected to leave temperatures still below average into the holiday weekend.
