Ohio wakes up to gray skies and scattered flakes drifting off Lake Erie. Temperatures hover near 33 degrees in Cleveland, and a west wind at 13 mph pushes wind chills into the mid-20s. Light snow showers pass through, dusting grassy areas and briefly coating colder surfaces.
According to the National Weather Service in Cleveland, a 30 percent chance of snow showers lingers through the early morning. Little to no accumulation is expected, but bursts of snow could reduce visibility along I-90 and the Shoreway before midday. Bridges and elevated ramps remain the most vulnerable for slick spots.
Clouds hold firm today with highs near 32 degrees. Another round of light snow showers remains possible into the afternoon. By tonight, temperatures drop sharply to around 22 degrees with a continued slight snow chance. Any moisture left behind may refreeze, creating patchy black ice before sunrise. This is classic flash-freeze season along the lakeshore.
Thursday turns partly sunny but colder, with highs only near 28. Lows fall to around 20 Thursday night. A steady improvement begins Friday as sunshine returns and highs climb to 38. Valentine’s Weekend, February 13-15, looks quieter. Saturday reaches near 39 with mostly sunny skies, and Sunday pushes into the low 40s.
Early next week trends milder still, with highs in the 40s and even upper 40s by Tuesday. Longer-range outlooks hint at above-average temperatures building into late February. A subtle spring tease may develop, but winter still controls the morning commute. Are you seeing flakes or slick patches where you live?
