If you’re in Northeast Ohio or Northwest Pennsylvania, expect a chilly night ahead as cooler air moves in once again. While widespread frost isn’t on the radar, some rural valleys and wind-sheltered spots may dip into the upper 40s, making for a cool and crisp Wednesday morning.
How Cold Will It Get?
The National Weather Service in Cleveland reports that cloud cover will increase tonight, which will help keep temperatures slightly warmer than last night, but it’s still going to feel quite cool by early morning. Here’s what to expect:
Low to mid-50s for most of the region
Around 50°F in cities like Canton, Youngstown, and Mansfield
Upper 40s in the most rural and valley areas, especially along the US 30 corridor and in parts of Marion and Meadville
Even though frost is not expected, people heading out late tonight or early Wednesday—especially campers, commuters, or those without central heating—may want to grab an extra layer.
Patchy Fog and Morning Chill
While temperatures are the main story tonight, patchy fog could also form in low-lying valleys during the pre-dawn hours, especially where skies clear and winds calm. If you’re hitting the road early:
Allow extra time for reduced visibility in foggy areas
Use low beams, not high beams
Drive cautiously through rural stretches, particularly in valleys
The air will stay calm and cool overnight, making for a crisp start to Wednesday. As the sun rises, temperatures will warm up again, bringing some relief by midday.
What to Expect for the Rest of the Week
There’s no major overnight cooling expected for the rest of the week, but the cool nights and mild afternoons will continue for a few more days. Skies will stay partly cloudy to mostly clear, keeping things dry and pleasant.
Here’s a quick look at the upcoming pattern:
| Day | Morning Low | Afternoon High | Conditions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wednesday | 48–52°F | 68–72°F | Crisp AM, sunny PM |
| Thursday | 52–55°F | 70–74°F | Mild and partly sunny |
| Friday | 55–58°F | 72–75°F | Warmer, dry skies |
Tips for Staying Comfortable
Dress in layers—mornings may feel cold, but afternoons will warm up
If camping or heading out early, carry a light blanket or warm gear
Watch for early morning fog, especially in valley areas or near rivers
It’s a calm, cool stretch of weather for Northeast Ohio and Northwest Pennsylvania, with overnight lows dipping into the 40s and low 50s. Whether you’re commuting, camping, or just out for a morning walk, expect a brisk start to the day, followed by comfortable afternoon conditions. Patchy fog is the only travel concern, but otherwise, it’s smooth sailing through midweek.
