Cleveland, OH – Snow and freezing conditions are set to impact the Cleveland region starting late Monday and continuing through midweek. The National Weather Service has issued a detailed forecast calling for lake effect snow and gusty winds, which could create hazardous road conditions.
According to the National Weather Service, snow showers are expected Monday afternoon with a high near 30°F. Conditions will worsen Monday night as wind gusts reach up to 20 mph, and wind chills fall to -3°F. Snow accumulation will likely remain light through Monday night, with less than half an inch possible, but heavier snow bands may develop Tuesday.
Drivers should prepare for potentially icy conditions, especially on highways such as I-90 and I-77. Keep an eye out for rapidly changing visibility due to snow showers, particularly during evening commutes. Residents are encouraged to stock up on essentials and stay updated on local road conditions.
Tuesday will see continued snow showers with a high near 22°F, and wind gusts up to 25 mph will make travel even more challenging. By Wednesday, conditions will calm slightly, with mostly cloudy skies and highs around 22°F. However, another round of lake effect snow could arrive Wednesday night into Thursday, keeping accumulations possible throughout the week.
Cleveland residents should monitor updates as the forecast evolves and stay prepared for extended winter weather. The National Weather Service advises caution for those traveling or venturing outdoors this week.
