Saturday Morning Update:

Winter weather advisories have been extended for Richland, Ashland, Wayne, Stark, Mahoning, and Trumbull Counties until 10 am Saturday.
Advisories also remain in effect for Coshocton County until 1 a.m. Sunday.

Slick, snowy, and slippery roads are possible as you head out the door Saturday morning. Most of the highways are pretty clear, but secondary roads or side streets could still be snow-covered. Slow down and use caution while traveling.

Widespread snow moved in yesterday evening and continued overnight. Even early this morning, there are still some lingering snow showers.

Those are expected to fade over the next few hours. Much of the area will be dry for the rest of the day, but lake-effect snow will still be possible in our northeastern communities; however, additional accumulation looks minor (less than one inch).

Everyone should be snow-free by Saturday night and into Sunday as high pressure briefly builds in. More snow is expected Sunday night and into Monday with an arctic cold front.

SNOW TOTALS: Northeast Ohio should expect 1 to 3 inches of snow Friday night and early Saturday.

However, up to 4 inches will be possible in the counties included in the advisory. Lake effect snow will be possible on Saturday, and some additional accumulation is expected in the snowbelt, but as of Friday afternoon, totals do not look very high later on Saturday.
