Great Lakes Forecast

The Ohio Valley will remain very mild with highs in the 50s and 60s for locations along the Ohio River. The southern Great Lakes including Cleveland, Ohio, Detroit, Michigan, and Chicago, Illinois will see temperatures drop off a little bit from Christmas Eve, but it will still be unusually warm for this time of year, topping out in the 40s and 50s. The northern Great Lakes (mainly Wisconsin and the northern half of Michigan) will be colder, with highs in the 30s.
