A Winter Weather Watch has been issued by the National Weather Service for Ashtabula County starting on Saturday at 10 p.m. through Sunday morning to 4 p.m.

This alert will be updated on Saturday to either a winter weather advisory or a winter storm warning. We will keep you posted on said changes!

Scattered snow is expected across Northeast Ohio Saturday afternoon. As winds shift from the southwest to the west, the focus will shift to lake effect snow. Heavy lake-effect snow is likely to set up Saturday night and intensify into Sunday. Lake effect snow will decrease by Monday morning.

The greatest impacts will be felt in northern Ashtabula county - where our to six inches of snow will be possible! Smaller totals are expected farther to the south and west. Most of the Power of 5 viewing area will see less than one inch of snow this weekend. Snowfall rates of up to one inch per hour are possible with 35 mph winds.

Travel conditions could be hazardous on roads.
