Cleveland, Ohio: Thanksgiving Rain Tonight, Snow Expected This Weekend Along Lake Erie
-Advertisement-
Cleveland, OH – A Winter Storm Watch is set to take effect Friday, bringing heavy lake-effect snow to Northeast Ohio and areas near I-90. Residents should prepare for travel disruptions starting late Thursday night as snow bands develop.
According to the National Weather Service, the storm will persist through Monday, with snowfall exceeding eight inches in some locations. Areas along Lake Erie could see totals above a foot where lake-effect snow bands remain stationary. The heaviest snowfall is expected Friday night into Saturday morning, with visibility dropping below a quarter mile in some areas. Hazardous conditions may delay or halt holiday travel plans.
The extended forecast predicts a rainy Thanksgiving Day in Cleveland, with highs reaching 45°F before temperatures drop sharply overnight. Rain will transition into snow late Thursday, with a chance of snow showers throughout Friday. Breezy winds are expected, adding to the potential for drifting snow and icy roads.
Saturday and Sunday will bring scattered snow showers, with highs in the low 30s and nighttime lows dipping into the low 20s. These colder temperatures will likely worsen road conditions and create slick surfaces for drivers.
Drivers planning to use I-90 or Route 2 this weekend are urged to monitor conditions closely and consider alternative travel plans. Be prepared with an emergency kit and allow extra travel time. Stay updated through local alerts to avoid sudden hazardous conditions.
The National Weather Service encourages residents to finalize preparations today, ensuring vehicles are winter-ready and outdoor plans are flexible.
