A Winter Storm Watch has been issued for numerous Northeast Ohio counties for late Sunday through Monday night, according to the National Weather Service.
The following counties will be under this watch from 6 p.m. on Sunday to 4 a.m. on Tuesday:
- Lake
- Cuyahoga
- Medina
- Geauga
- Ashtabula
- Summit
While snow will begin to fall earlier on Sunday from a clipper, lake-effect snow will develop Sunday evening through Monday, with six inches or more possible in the primary snowbelt through Monday night.
When all is set and done between Sunday's clipper and Monday's lake effect snow, 4 to 8 inches is likely in the purple shaded area, from Eastern Lorain through to Ashtabula counties. Isolated 8 or 9 inch amounts are possible where squalls persist, most likely in Geauga County.
For areas outside the alert, from Akron points south, 2-4" total is expected Sunday through Tuesday, and that encompasses most of the viewing area.
