A multi-day lake-effect snowstorm is underway, with the heaviest impacts east of Cleveland. Prepare for difficult travel and delays.
Snow rates may exceed 2 inches per hour Friday night into Saturday along the I-90 corridor. Localized flooding from blocked drains is possible. Emergency crews advise avoiding secondary roads prone to ice buildup.
Stay weather-aware this weekend as lake-effect snow sweeps across Northeast Ohio, especially targeting communities near the I-90 corridor. Snowfall totals could exceed two feet in localized areas, with conditions deteriorating rapidly due to gusty winds and heavy snowbands.
Travel will be most hazardous Friday night into early Saturday. Expect visibility under a quarter mile and icy roads. Plan ahead by stocking your winter kit and checking for updates on weather alerts and road closures. Local emergency officials stress the importance of avoiding unnecessary travel to ensure safety during this severe event.
Looking ahead, the snow will taper off briefly Saturday evening but is forecasted to return Sunday night through Tuesday, extending risks for Northeast Ohio. Stay tuned for updates and prepare for more snow-filled days ahead.
