WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY for Lake & Geauga Counties
Lake effect snow setting up today. It'll be relatively unorganized through midday with only minor accumulations along the lakeshore and east of Cleveland. Temps stay in the 30s, gusts as high as 30mph and wind chills in the 20s.
West winds take over tonight and fuels one massive lake effect snow squall focused on the primary snow belt. Lake, northern Geauga and Ashtabula county could be in the 1" to 2" per hour snow range.
Plan on a couple inches on the ground during the morning drive. That will impact the drive to work/school. Things settle through the day with less snow by midday. We're drying Thursday with cold air settling in and scattered lake effect during the rest of the day.
Friday's Lake effect snow is limited to far northern Ashtabula.
Even colder air will drop in for the end of the work week through next weekend. Look for high temperatures in the lower 30s beginning Friday with overnight lows by Saturday morning in the teens!
Stay warm everyone.
