An EXTREME COLD WATCH has been issued for all of Northern Ohio beginning Monday and lasting through 10 am Wednesday. Dangerous wind chills below -15 degrees are expected early next week. For more details click here.
A few snow showers will be possible during the overnight, with some light accumulations possible. Temperatures will be falling into the lower 20s for most by early Sunday morning.
More snow will be likely on Sunday, along with more accumulation Sunday and into Monday.
It's all followed by some of the coldest air we've seen in years. We had to go back to 2019 for anything comparable and possibly 2015.
Saturday morning will be in the mid-30s falling to the teens with barely an increase noticed on Sunday afternoon but dropping to the single digits by Sunday night. Wind chills will be subzero by Monday morning. Then nighttime temperatures are expected to dip below zero and afternoon temps will not even be hitting double digits.
Make sure you're planning. Pets, pipes, and all the typical stuff that is impacted by blasts like this will be affected. Don't wait to prepare!
