Cleveland, OH – The National Weather Service in Cleveland has issued a Winter Storm Watch for portions of north-central and northeast Ohio, extending into northwest Pennsylvania, as heavy lake-effect snow is expected to develop late Sunday evening and continue through Tuesday.
According to the US National Weather Service Cleveland, several inches of accumulation are likely in the region’s snowbelt areas, with the heaviest totals reaching 5 to 10 inches—and potentially higher in elevated terrain. Forecasters warn that travel could become hazardous, especially during Monday and Tuesday morning commutes, as visibility drops and roads become slick.
The combination of wet, heavy snow and remaining leaves on trees could also result in power outages and tree damage, particularly in communities east of Cleveland and near the Pennsylvania border. Officials advise residents to prepare for possible disruptions to travel and utilities and to monitor forecasts for updates as conditions evolve.
The Winter Storm Watch remains in effect from late Sunday evening through late Tuesday evening. Motorists are urged to plan ahead, keep emergency kits in their vehicles, and allow extra travel time during peak snowfall.
Stay tuned to local weather alerts for additional updates and timing adjustments as the system develops.
