Cleveland, OH – Snow showers, freezing temperatures, and gusty winds are expected to persist in Northeast Ohio through today, impacting weekend travel. The National Weather Service forecasts lake-effect snow with a high near 32°F and wind chills dipping into the teens.
According to the National Weather Service, scattered snow showers will primarily affect areas along Lake Erie, including Cleveland and nearby communities, with potential for reduced visibility and slick roads on major routes like I-90, I-71, and I-77. Accumulations are expected to be light but could still create hazardous conditions for drivers. Residents are urged to reduce speeds and maintain extra distance between vehicles.
The snow is likely to taper off by Sunday morning, leaving mostly cloudy skies and a high near 33°F. Winds will shift southwest at 7 to 13 mph. Monday brings a mix of snow and freezing rain before noon, with temperatures holding steady near freezing. Light accumulation is possible, making roadways especially slippery during the morning commute.
Looking ahead, Tuesday could see another round of snow showers with breezy conditions and highs near 20°F, while Wednesday offers some reprieve with partly cloudy skies and a high near 22°F.
Stay prepared by keeping an emergency kit in your vehicle and checking local traffic updates before heading out. Snow and freezing rain could lead to sudden changes in road conditions.
