Bowling Green, OH – A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for northwest Ohio from 10 a.m. Saturday to 10 a.m. Sunday, as snow and gusty winds are expected to make driving hazardous across the region, according to the National Weather Service in Cleveland.
Forecasters say 3 to 5 inches of snow are likely across Wood, Ottawa, Sandusky, Hancock, Seneca, and Wyandot counties, with winds gusting up to 35 mph. The combination of falling and blowing snow could reduce visibility and lead to slick conditions on highways and secondary roads.
The timing of this system could significantly impact Thanksgiving weekend travel, especially Saturday afternoon and evening as the snow intensifies. The Ohio Department of Transportation and Ohio Turnpike and Infrastructure Commission are reminding drivers to slow down, allow extra travel time, and check ohgo.com for real-time traffic and roadway updates.
Officials recommend motorists keep emergency supplies — including blankets, food, and water — in vehicles in case of delays.
This storm marks another wave of early winter weather sweeping across the Great Lakes, ushering in a colder start to December for much of northern and western Ohio.
