Northeast Ohio weather: ALERT issued for some Monday night – Tuesday morning

CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) – Dry weather is expected through Monday before a southern storm pushes in Monday night. This will clip parts of Northeast Ohio with some snow. The snow associated with the storm system exits by sunrise Tuesday, but then lake-effect snow takes shape Tuesday afternoon into Wednesday morning with additional light accumulation farther north.

An ALERT is in effect for our southern half of counties, away from the lakeshore, Monday night into Tuesday morning.

Monday will be partly cloudy and dry with high temperatures in the low to mid 40s.

On Monday night, a southern storm brings the opportunity for snow to parts of Northeast Ohio. Snow falls mainly south of I-90, with accumulations confined to grassy and elevated surfaces along and south of I-71 to I-271 and I-80. Right now, the forecast calls for locations such as Akron and Wooster to see between 1 and 2 inches while Canton and New Philadelphia see between 2 and 4 inches. Given continuing slight shifts in the projected path of this storm system, amounts may still vary slightly. There will be a sharp cutoff between locations that see and locations that do not see snow.

All snow from this storm system tapers before sunrise Tuesday morning. By Tuesday afternoon, lake-effect snow showers develop and may deliver a fresh, light accumulation. High temperatures stay in the 30s.

Scattered, lake-effect flurries linger Wednesday morning before tapering to a partly cloudy sky. High temperatures rise to the mid 30s.

On Thursday, a clipper system brings the potential for rain and snow showers. High temperatures reach the low 40s.

The next opportunity for snow will be from late Friday into early Saturday. High temperatures stay near seasonable both days in the mid to upper 30s.
