A Winter Weather Advisory has been issued for four Northeast Ohio counties for Sunday's snow.
The National Weather Service issued this winter alert for the following counties until 7 p.m.:
- Lake
- Geauga
- Ashtabula
- Portage
News 5 Meteorologist Allan Nosoff was live Sunday afternoon with updates:
The rest of Northern Ohio will also see snow, just not as significant snow totals as the snowbelt is expected to see. There can still be significant impacts, even on the west side, as the snow squalls could contain near-blizzard or whiteout conditions for a short 10-to-20-minute stretch at a time.
With 2 to 3 inches reported in the advisory counties so far, and another 1 to 3 inches expected this afternoon, snow totals could approach 5 or 6 inches by the end of the day, triggering the alert there.
A coating up to two inches has been reported in multiple towns from the 77 corridor points west, and another inch or so is possible this afternoon, totalling up to 3 inches outside the advisory area. Most areas, though, will remain under that.
While totals are not grand, the quick visibility drop and heavy bursts of snow remain the primary threats this afternoon. It will end between 4 and 7 p.m. from west to east. Watch out for icy road conditions tonight as the sun goes down, and any untreated areas of snow or standing water could freeze.
