Cleveland, OH – A winter weather advisory is in effect for Cuyahoga County, including Cleveland, until 10 a.m. Saturday. Snowfall totals could reach up to 5 inches, with the heaviest amounts expected in northeastern communities like Euclid and Gates Mills.
Lake-effect snow bands will periodically reduce visibility to a quarter mile, creating hazardous travel conditions. Gusty winds near the lakeshore, reaching 40 mph, may exacerbate drifting snow and reduce road safety.
The advisory warns that both Friday and Saturday morning commutes will be impacted, particularly for Black Friday shoppers. Motorists are urged to allow extra time and remain cautious while traveling.
