You can grow cherries in that area but it isn’t going to be easy especially for sweet cherries. You will have to spray the trees to control brown rot and use bird scare tape or net the trees. You need to plant cultivars that are crack resistant and suited to Eastern conditions like Blackgold and Whitegold.
It’s doable but apples and pears are much easier and require less of a commitment. I would take a look at the Eastern cherry thread I have linked below. I am growing both sweet and tart cherries in Illinois and the climate here is probably worse than your local climate.
