Cleveland, OH – Northeast Ohio will see a dramatic drop in temperatures next week, with wind chills plunging into the negative digits and accumulating snow adding to hazardous conditions.
According to the NWS, snow showers Sunday will transition into an Arctic blast, with wind gusts up to 40 mph creating blowing and drifting snow. By Monday, wind chills could reach -10°F, with daytime highs struggling to climb past 10°F.
This prolonged period of frigid weather will last through midweek, increasing risks of frostbite, hypothermia, and frozen pipes. Residents should bundle up, keep pets indoors, and check on vulnerable neighbors. Roadways, including I-271 and I-77, could become treacherous with ice and reduced visibility.
Motorists are encouraged to delay unnecessary travel, while homeowners should let faucets drip to prevent pipes from freezing. Stay tuned to local forecasts and visit ohgo.com for road conditions.
