High Pressure Brings Pleasant Fall Weather Across Northeast Ohio

The Cleveland area is set for a beautiful fall weekend as high pressure dominates, delivering clear skies and mild temperatures. Daytime highs will range from the upper 60s to low 70s, with even warmer temperatures in western counties reaching mid-70s by Sunday.
