Cleveland, OH – Lake-effect snow is gradually winding down across Northeast Ohio, but cold temperatures and slick road conditions will remain the main concern as the region heads into Monday morning.
According to the National Weather Service in Cleveland, little to no additional snowfall is expected across Northeast Ohio overnight, while parts of northwest Pennsylvania could still pick up 1 to 3 inches of snow before the system fully exits. Areas that saw heavier snowfall earlier Sunday may continue to deal with snow-covered and slippery roads into the overnight hours.
While snowfall is diminishing, cold air will persist into early Monday, keeping winter hazards in place. Forecast low temperatures across the Cleveland area are expected to fall into the upper single digits to low teens, with minimum wind chills ranging from -5 to +5 degrees by early Monday morning.
Forecasters say untreated roads, bridges, and secondary streets could remain icy, especially where snow accumulated earlier in the day. Drivers heading out late Sunday night or early Monday are urged to use caution, slow down, and allow extra travel time.
The coldest conditions are expected during the pre-dawn and early morning hours Monday, when brisk winds combine with low temperatures to produce biting wind chills. Even as skies begin to clear, temperatures will recover only modestly during the day.
Despite improving snowfall conditions, officials remind residents that cold-related risks remain. Frostbite can occur with prolonged exposure when wind chills drop near zero, so bundling up and covering exposed skin is advised.
Conditions are expected to gradually improve later Monday as winds ease and road crews continue cleanup efforts. However, winter weather remains firmly in control to start the week, and residents are encouraged to stay weather-aware and monitor local updates.
