A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect forLake, Geauga, Ashtabula, Portage, and Trumbull counties until 4 AM Sunday. 

Lake effect snow showers will linger through this evening in the advisory counties, but will begin to taper off after midnight through early Sunday morning. Another couple inches will be possible in persistent bands. Temperatures will begin to fall back through the Teens during the overnight.

A lingering snow shower will be possible early on Sunday, otherwise clouds will begin to break, allowing some sunshine to break through. Despite the brighter conditions, it will still be very cold, with highs in the mid to upper 20s Sunday afternoon.

Looks like a Green Christmas for most of us this year. Scattered rain/snow showers arrive on Monday night and look to continue into Christmas Eve. Christmas is trending mainly dry with warming temps. Highs on Tuesday will reach into the upper 30s. Highs on Christmas Day should jump to near 40 degrees. Ho. Ho. Ho.
