CLEVELAND — Winds will remain strong, with gusts of 30 to 40+ for most of the overnight. Temperatures will tumble, big time, down to below freezing by 6 a.m. as the morning commute commences. That rapid drop with high wind and lots of standing water will lead to a flash freeze across much of the area. So you will want to give yourself extra time to get anywhere Friday morning.
As the cold crashes down, the lake effect snow will pick back up into Friday. 1 to 3 inches are possible during the day Friday in the primary snowbelt, and about an inch in the secondary snowbelt. It will feel like single digits on Friday, as wind gusts will remain from 30 to 40 mph for most of the day.
