WINTER STORM WATCH for Northern Ashtabula County from 4 pm Wednesday afternoon through 4 pm Thursday afternoon. A snow squall could park across Northern Ashtabula County late Wednesday through Thursday . 6 inches of snow or more are possible in the Watch area.

Low pressure is moving east of Ohio now. That will put an end to the rain for now. Much colder air slides in behind the low pressure on Wednesday. We'll likely see a burst of snow across all of Northern Ohio during the morning. That will be good for a quick half-inch to an inch of snow. Snow may impact some of the morning rush hour. Temperatures will be dropping into the mid 30s Wednesday morning, but afternoon temps will slide into the upper 20s by late in the day.

We will then watch out for a lake effect snow squall to graze Northern Ashtabula Wednesday night through early Friday. That squall could dump 6+ inches of snow by mid-afternoon Thursday.

Highs on Thursday look to be stuck in the LOW 20s! Wind Chills will be in the Single Digits to Below Zero at times.

The cold will not last long. Temperatures will begin to moderate by the weekend, and there will be more rain chances Saturday and Sunday.
