CLEVELAND, Ohio - Welcome to a long, warm weekend, Northeast Ohio.
Saturday could be a record-breaker. The high right now is forecasted at 61 degrees, just one small degree shy of the record set in 1981. Sunday will cool down a bit, but highs are still going to top 50 degrees, with the sunny skies continuing.
For President's Day, the mild weather is expected to last, so if you're lucky enough to have work or school off, it'll be a great day for a barbecue.
While the clear skies and warm-up is a relief, this means the pollen is back triggering the switch from winter sniffles to allergy stuffiness.
Warm weekend weather will allow pollen to reach 'medium' level for first time since Sept. 16

Strong winds from the south, coupled with a high-pressure system, will bring temperatures Friday and Saturday much above average. Sunday and Monday, a slight cool down is expected because of shifting winds. The heavy warm air advection won't add to the warmth given from the high pressure system, which will still keep skies sunny through Monday.
