Ohio begins the morning with pale sunshine over Lake Erie, but the quiet sky won’t last. Clouds thicken through the afternoon, and light snow is expected to move into northern Ohio later today, setting up slick travel by evening.
According to the National Weather Service in Cleveland, snow is likely tonight with accumulations of an inch or less across Cuyahoga, Lorain, Lake, and surrounding counties. Temperatures fall from the low 40s this afternoon to near 24° by daybreak Sunday. Even light snow can coat I-90, I-71, and Route 2 quickly once pavement cools.
The heaviest bursts should remain brief, but reduced visibility is possible after sunset. Plan extra time if traveling this evening. Bridges and overpasses could turn icy first as colder air settles in.
Sunday turns sharply colder with highs near 29° and a slight chance of lingering snow early. Northeast winds add a biting feel along the lakeshore. By Sunday night, skies partially clear and temperatures dip to around 17°, reinforcing the Late Winter chill.
March begins tomorrow with sunshine returning Monday and highs near 36°. A weak system may bring a rain-snow mix late Monday night into early Tuesday before steadier rain develops Tuesday with highs near 48°. By Wednesday, temperatures climb into the low 50s, signaling a gradual moderation.
The 6–10 day outlook points toward above-normal temperatures across Ohio, hinting at early Spring Warmth building into next week.
