The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Watch for numerous Northeast Ohio counties starting Sunday night.
The following counties will be under this watch from Sunday at 7 p.m. to Tuesday at 11 a.m.:
- Lorain
- Lake
- Cuyahoga
- Medina
- Geauga

Northeast Ohio's first snow of the season is coming this week and will be a wet, slushy snow that could bring down trees or branches, especially those near the lakeshore that still have a decent amount of leaves.
Heavy lake-effect snow is possible, with potential accumulations of 5 to 10 inches in some areas.
The combination of heavy, wet snow and blustery winds with gusts over 30 miles per hour could lead to tree damage and possible power outages.
