Northeast Ohio was hit with another round of snow on Saturday, prompting numerous weather warnings across News 5's viewing area throughout the morning into the early afternoon.

Snow Squall Warnings issued by the National Weather Service began to roll in around 10:30 a.m., all of which expired by 1:45 p.m.

Counties such as Cuyahoga, Summit, Stark, Portage, Lake, Geauga, Ashtabula, Richland and Carroll were affected by this warning, with areas hit by sudden bursts of heavy snow and gusty winds.

In addition to the Snow Squall Warning, Richland County issued a Level 1 Snow Emergency, which was lifted around 2 p.m.

News 5 Meteorologist Allan Nosoff was live with weather updates Saturday afternoon:

Some counties, like Cuyahoga and Lake, even experienced thundersnow on Saturday, which occurs when a large temperature difference exists between the ground and the clouds, with ice crystals generating a lot of static electricity.

We saw the phenomenon last week in the Kent area:
