CLEVELAND — After a foot-plus of snow across parts of Northern Ohio yesterday, another inch or two of snow is expected this afternoon to add insult to injury. The next two rounds of snow will be much lighter than the heavy lake-effect snow event, but slick travel conditions are still expected.
One positive outcome of the next few days is briefly warmer temperatures. Highs will rebound to near freezing by Friday afternoon. It will stay in the upper 20s to near-30 tonight and Saturday morning, before temps drop again into Saturday night. That cold will follow yet another clipper during the day Saturday, especially in the morning and midday. A few snow showers could drop an additional inch or two, especially south and east of I-77.
Guess what? More snow is on the way for the start of next week. The pattern is holding serve for a few more weeks. Several clippers will keep an active pattern MLK Day through the middle of next week. Between the storms, one major surge of the Polar Vortex will send the coldest air of the season so far into Monday night. Temperatures might not even get out of the single digits with sub-zero lows and wind chills approaching 20 below zero!
