CLEVELAND — Hope everyone got to enjoy a brief break this evening from the rain. But brief is the keyword. Moisture returns by tonight and continues into Sunday. This time it will not be rain, it will be snow! Plan for some accumulation on Sunday. This is especially true in the snowbelt.

Temperatures will drop into the lower 30s tonight and will only top off in the lower 30s on Sunday. Grab the winter coat, perhaps even the hats, gloves and scarf for Sunday! It will be much colder and blustery, making it feel even colder. 1 to 3 inches of snow will be possible on Sunday. Potentially, over 3 inches of snow will be possible in parts of Geauga and Portage counties. The snow will begin to taper off during the evening on Sunday into Sunday night. After a few unsettled and wet days, we dry out on Monday and warm up by Tuesday. Click here for more information about the active weekend ahead.

We will "Spring Forward" to Daylight Saving Time on Sunday, March 10th, at 2 AM, so you will need to set your clock an hour ahead on Saturday before you head to bed. Sunsets will go from a little before 6:30 PM this week to a little before 7:30 PM next week (3/10).

What To Expect:

  • Colder temperatures
  • Snowy Sunday
  • 1-3 inches for most, higher in snowbelt
  • Drier on Monday
  • Warmth returns next week
