CLEVELAND — A wintry mix of rain and snow showers will be with us this evening and overnight. A quick 1-2'' of snow will be possible in some areas, especially east of I-77. This means there is a chance for some folks (depending on where you live) to wake up to a White Christmas (which by definition is at least 1 inch of snow on the ground at 7 am Christmas morning).
Any snow on the ground though will be fleeting! We continue to warm on Christmas Day with temps warming to around 40 - so even if there is snow on the ground for some in the morning, by the afternoon it is look green for many due to melting. Plus, some light rain showers will also be possible on Wednesday.
The warming trend continues during the end of the week. The 50s look feasible by Friday!
