CLEVELAND — Winds will begin to lessen their intensity this evening into the overnight. Wind gusts of 30 to 40 mph will remain possible into the overnight through Sunday.
By tonight, temps will fall into the TEENS! With continued gusty winds, the wind chills are expected to fall below zero by late tonight into early Sunday.
Therefore, a wind chill advisory has also been issued for the western half of our viewing area, including Cuyahoga County. Wind chills could be as low as -15 degrees tonight. The advisory goes into effect at midnight and remains in effect until 4 p.m. on Sunday. The advisory may be expanded to include more of our viewing area. This is the coldest Arctic air since Christmas 2022! And it does not warm right back up. The bitterly cold temps in the teens for highs will linger into the middle of next week. Highs Sunday through Wednesday will only climb into the teens and lower 20s. Wind chills will drop below zero at times! Get ready!
We will also keep an eye out for some lake-effect snow into Sunday morning. As of Saturday morning, accumulation looks minor this weekend. Less than 1 inch of snow for most of NE Ohio, with less than 3 inches for our northern communities.
