Widespread snow showers this evening will transitions to lake effect snow tonight. Snowfall totals should be in the 1 to 2 inch range in most spots. But, where lake effect snow showers persist, expect 2 to 6 inches by sunrise with a few spots seeing more. Plus, winds will gust to near 40 mph causing low visibility for travelers tonight.

WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY for Lake, Northern Ashtabula, Trumbull, Summit & Medina Counties thru 10am Tuesday morning. Gusty winds and snow totals of 1 to 4 inches can be expected

A trough of low pressure will slide through the area this evening. a band of moderate to heavy snow is traveling southeast with the trough. Its capable of putting down a quick inch of snow for the evening hours along with low visibilities and very gusty winds. Drive with care.
Once the trough moves thru, scattered lake effect snow showers and a couple of heavier squalls will linger into the early morning hours of Tuesday. Snow totals where squalls persist could reach as much as 8 inches by sunrise. Generally snow totals for all of our viewing area will range from a trace to as much as 4 inches. The good news is: most of the snow should have ended by the Tuesday AM rush!

We dry out, calm down and clear out Wednesday before warming up late week.
