CLEVELAND — Here comes a taste of winter! A Freeze Warning is in effect tonight thru 10 am Tuesday morning for the entire News5 viewing area. Low temperatures overnight will range from the middle and upper 20s inland to the lower and middle 30s lakeside by sunrise. Skies should clear out a bit tonight as well in most spots.

Halloween starts off with some sunshine and chilly highs in the lower and middle 40s during the day. An Alberta Clipper low-pressure system will slide southeast into Ohio by evening and bring our first snowflakes for most of us and the first accumulating snow for some (mainly in the snowbelt). Snow totals of a trace to 1 inch can be expected across Northern Ohio Tuesday night into Wednesday morning with spots in the primary and secondary snow belts totaling 1-3 inches (a couple of spots could go higher). We might even hear some thunder with any heavies snowband that comes in off the lake Tuesday night. The warmer lake will keep a slushy mix for areas along the immediate lakeshore. Low temperatures will drop into the upper 20s and lower 30s by Wednesday morning. A few flurries and light rain showers could linger into Wednesday afternoon downwind of Lake Erie.

After Wednesday, we rebound. Looking for temps in the 50s with sun closer to the weekend.
