Cleveland, OH – Valentine’s weekend in Northeast Ohio is shaping up to be more about bundling up than going out. A winter storm is expected to bring snow, ice, and gusty winds from Friday through Sunday, creating hazardous conditions on roadways, including I-90.
According to the National Weather Service, light snow will start early Friday before intensifying by evening. Temperatures will hover near freezing, leading to potential ice accumulation. Winds up to 30 mph could reduce visibility, making travel difficult for date nights and weekend plans.
Saturday will bring the heaviest snowfall, with up to 8 inches possible in some areas. Lake-effect snow could create whiteout conditions near the lakefront. By Sunday, lingering flurries will keep roads slick, with highs staying below freezing.
Ohioans planning to celebrate should prepare for icy roads and potential power outages. The Ohio Department of Transportation urges drivers to check conditions before heading out.
Looking ahead, more snow showers may arrive early next week, keeping winter’s grip on Cleveland a little longer. Stay tuned for updates and enjoy a cozy Valentine’s weekend indoors!
