CLEVELAND — Skies will be mostly cloudy tonight as a weak area of snow passes just to our north through Thursday. We stay dry tonight, but flurries and a few light snow showers are possible during the day Thursday. Accumulations won't be much more than a dusting to perhaps an inch in a few spots.
A strong Alberta Clipper storm system will slide across Northern Ohio Thursday night and early Friday. It will combine forces with another weather disturbance along the Ohio River. Steady moderate to briefly heavy snow will begin Thursday night and linger through Friday morning across Northern Ohio before transitioning to Lake effect snow late Friday afternoon into Saturday morning. Snow totals will generally be in the 3 to 6-inch range, with a few spots in the primary and secondary snow belts measuring closer to 8 inches by sunrise Saturday. Expect snowy and slipper travel for the Friday AM and PM rush hours. Allow extra time to get where you need to go!
We're not expected to make it back above 32º until early next week, but we should warm up quickly! 40s look possible by early next week!
What To Expect:
- Mostly cloudy tonight
- Low near 17 degrees
- Flurries/light snow on Thursday
- 3-6" of snow Thursday night & Friday
- Thawing out next week
