CLEVELAND — We have a WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY in effect until 10 am Thursday morning. Freezing rain will move in overnight as temperatures slowly warm into the lower and middle 30s by 7am. Anywhere from .1" to .25" of ice accumulation is likely across Northern Ohio by 6 am.

By the Thursday morning rush hour, only a few isolated rain showers will remain across the area as temperatures will have warmed above freezing. But, untreated surfaces could still be slick because it will take a few hours to melt all of the accumulated ice. By mid morning, we will dry out as temperatures warm up to near 40 degrees. Skies will remain cloudy all day. Winds wilol begin to gust to near 25 miles per hour by evening as another cold front quickly moves in from the west.

Highs will only be around freezing on Friday, plus it will be blustery leading to even colder wind chill temperatures. Another wintry mix looks to take aim at NEO by Saturday afternoon/evening and will continue into Sunday morning before the Big Game!

DAILY FORECAST:

Wednesday Night: Freezing rain likely. Could change to rain by sunrise. | Temps: Risingº

Thursday: Slick roads. Rain early before drying out midday. | High: 41º

Friday: Cloudy, calmer, cooler again. | High: 32º (early, then dropping into the 20s)

Saturday: Snow, sleet & freezing rain. | High: 33º

Sunday: Cold air returns with lake effect snow possible. | High: 32º
