Get ready for more snow, Northeast Ohio!
Snow and slippery roads should be expected for your Friday evening plans. Slow down and use caution while traveling.
Widespread snow is moving in from the southwest right now (1:30 p.m. on Friday) and will continue to spread to the northeast over the next couple of hours. It will be widespread by this evening.
TIMING:
Widespread is expected to continue overnight and slowly fading around sunrise on Saturday.
Much of the area will be dry for the rest of the day, but lake-effect snow will still be possible in our northeastern communities.
Everyone should be snow-free by Saturday night and into Sunday.
