CLEVELAND, Ohio — Fans heading out to high school football games across Northeast Ohio on Friday night can expect classic late October weather — cool, mostly dry and a touch brisk under partly cloudy skies.

A lingering low-pressure system over the Great Lakes will finally shift east on Friday as high pressure begins to build into the region, according to the National Weather Service in Cleveland .
