CLEVELAND — Our first snow of the season is here!
It's coming in waves, though, so be careful. Depending on where you are, conditions will vary widely.
The widespread slushy snow from Sunday night will be gone by sunrise. That means melting slushy accums are shrinking quickly. We're not exactly grabbing the shovels this morning, rather the brush to clear the cars off before we head out onto the roads.
We're in a lull. We get a brief break during the Monday morning drive before the Lake Effect Snow Machine gets cranking.
Northwest winds gusting to 30mph will fuel today's snowfall. Areas downwind of Lake Erie will be in the threat zone for snow squalls. That's until midday Tuesday when west winds take over. The primary snow belt is the only zone impacted when that happens.
*WHERE SQUALLS PERSIST*
-Up to 1" per hour snow (2" per hour Tuesday afternoon)
-Zero visibility
-Slick roads
Be sure to stay alert and informed...
