A winter storm is expected to bring a mix of snow, ice, freezing rain, and sleet to Northeast Ohio on Saturday, leading to hazardous road conditions. The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory for most of the area.
Another winter storm is heading our way this weekend, bringing a mix of precipitation including snow, ice, freezing rain, and sleet on Saturday. Snow and ice accumulation is possible across the area, making roads slippery and hazardous. Consequently, the National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory for nearly our entire viewing area.
The advisory, effective from 1 pm on Saturday until 1 am Sunday, will expire six hours later at 7 am on Sunday for Lake, Geauga, and Ashtabula Counties. It's important to note that while much of the area is under a winter weather advisory, the impacts and precipitation type will vary depending on your location.The rest of your Friday will be cold but quiet with increasing clouds. Saturday morning will start similarly, but low pressure moving up from the south will head towards Northeast Ohio. Starting in the afternoon, a winter mix of snow, freezing rain, sleet, and cold rain is possible across the area. This is estimated to arrive between 1 and 4 pm and become widespread by 5 pm. The good news is that precipitation isn't expected to linger for very long in most areas. Most communities will be dry by Saturday night, with only a few lingering flakes in our northern and eastern communities. Those showers will only last until early Sunday. For the primary snowbelt, including Lake, Geauga, and Ashtabula counties, 1 to 3 inches of snow will be possible by Sunday morning. Ice accumulation is still possible but should be more snow than ice. Ice accumulations for the snowbelt will range from a glaze to 0.10 of an inch. For inland communities (the rest of the counties in the advisory), snowfall amounts will be lower (less than 1 inch), but ice accumulation could be higher (up to two-tenths of an inch or even a quarter inch of ice). For communities south of US 30, snow and ice accumulation will be minor as temperatures are expected to be a bit warmer, but you will still have to deal with cold rain and slick spots. Plan for slippery road conditions. Slow down and use caution while traveling. The Power of 5 weather team will be watching this system closely and update you when needed! Stay safe
