A LAKE EFFECT SNOW WARNING has been issued for Saturday evening & into Sunday evening for CUYAHOGA, LAKE, GEAUGA & ASHTABULA Counites. Heavy lake effect snow will be likely during this time with low visibility and accumulation over 6'' in portions of the snowbelt WHERE SQUALLS PERSIST.

Another cold front arrives Saturday night, setting the stage for scattered snow and even more lake effect squalls for Saturday night and Sunday. You could see enough snow to shovel where squalls persist Sunday: 6 inches to as much as 10 or 12 inches in a few spots across the snowbelt by late Sunday.

Winds could gust between 30 & 40 mph Saturday night, Sunday, Sunday night and Monday. Wind chills during the day get stuck in the teens. Wind chills by Sunday morning could drop below zero! Time to layer up! The gusty winds could also result in whiteout conditions this weekend.

We thankfully will be seeing a warmer trend as we head into the new work week. Highs will top off in the low to mid 40s by Monday and Tuesday, with some sunshine!

Thanksgiving eve will be a quiet and mild one, as highs top off around 50. Rain chances will begin to move in late on Thanksgiving Day into Black Friday. Still seeing temperatures in the upper 40s on Friday, but colder air filters in for the day on Saturday; along with a rain/snow mix possible.

Stay warm everyone.

What To Expect:

  • Cold highs; upper 20s on Sunday!
  • Wind gusts between 25 & 40 mph thru Monday
  • Chills below zero Sunday morning!
  • Heavy squalls possible east of Cleveland Saturday night/Sunday
