Pattern Shift Brings First Widespread Rain Chances to Midwest and Northeast Starting Sunday

Forecasts point to drought‑denting showers peaking Sunday night into Monday in Northeast Ohio with cooler, seasonable air to follow.

Overview

  • NWS Cleveland expects scattered showers Sunday with the highest odds Sunday night into Monday across the Cleveland metro and nearby counties.
  • Multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms are forecast next week across parts of the Midwest, Great Lakes, and Northeast, offering needed rain after an unusually dry September.
  • Some locations could collect around an inch or more through the week, with isolated pockets reaching 1–2 inches in heavier storms.
  • Weekend conditions stay warm to hot in many areas before a post‑frontal cooldown returns temperatures to near seasonal levels by midweek.
  • Widespread severe weather is not anticipated, though brief heavy downpours and gusty winds are possible; New England faces elevated fire danger and spotty frost before rain, and Tropical Storm Gabrielle is forecast to pass east of Bermuda with only minor surf impacts.
