Cleveland, OH
Slight warmup arrives with light snow to start Northeast Ohio’s week
CLEVELAND, Ohio — After several days of extreme cold, Northeast Ohio will see a very slight warmup on Monday as temperatures climb into the 20s, though a weak weather system will bring widespread light snow to the region.
Clouds were already in place early in Marion, where Buckeye Chuck did not see his shadow during his annual Groundhog Day appearance.
Those clouds will spread into Northeast Ohio later in the morning, with snow showers moving west to east from midday into the evening, according to the National Weather Service in Cleveland. Snowfall totals are expected to remain light, with most areas seeing an inch or less.
While significant impacts are not expected, untreated roads and sidewalks could become slick, particularly later in the day and after sunset.
Snow showers taper off Monday evening, with overnight lows dropping into the upper teens. A few additional light snow showers are possible Tuesday as a weak cold front moves through, though any new accumulation should remain minor. Highs Tuesday will again reach the upper 20s.
Colder-than-normal pattern continues
Even with the slight rebound in temperatures early this week, Northeast Ohio will remain locked in a below-normal pattern as Arctic air stays entrenched across the eastern United States.
Highs will generally remain in the 20s through Friday, with overnight lows slipping into the single digits by midweek. Forecasters say wind chills could fall below zero at times late this week and into the weekend as colder air deepens behind another Arctic front.
Wednesday and Thursday are expected to be mostly dry, offering a brief break from snow before the next system arrives.
Snow chances increase late week
Forecast confidence continues to increase for another round of accumulating snow Thursday night into Friday as a potent clipper system moves southeast across the Great Lakes.
While exact snowfall amounts remain uncertain, forecasters say there is a high probability of at least minor accumulation across much of Northeast Ohio, with higher odds for more meaningful totals in eastern counties.
Gusty winds and falling temperatures behind the system could increase impacts late Friday and into the weekend.
Arctic air will surge back into the region after the system departs, with highs dropping into the teens over the weekend and periodic lake-effect snow showers possible. Extensive ice cover on Lake Erie should help limit lake-effect intensity and snowfall totals.

CLEVELAND, Ohio — The Cleveland Hopkins International Airport (CLE) has officially finished their Central Security Checkpoint Expansion Project.
According to a press release from the airport, the project doubles the number of security screening lines and the size of the guest queueing space. They also said it streamlines the CLEAR screening area.
“The Central Checkpoint expansion helps improve the guest experience and reduce congestion at the ticketing level while supporting current passenger needs ahead of future headhouse renovations under CLEvolution, the airport’s long-term vision for modernization, with the Terminal Modernization Development Program (TMDP) serving as its cornerstone,” the release reads.
The airport is also reminding travelers that the airports near the central checkpoint were recently remodeled, opening in November of last year. The price tag for the checkpoint expansion project was $4.8 million, and the restrooms were $1.3 million.
“These improvements are part of our ongoing efforts to modernize the existing terminal while enhancing accessibility, operational efficiency, and the overall passenger experience as we move forward with CLEvolution and the Terminal Modernization Development Program,” said Bryant L. Francis, director of Port Control. “Reconfiguring and expanding the Central Checkpoint allows us to better accommodate passenger demand today while preparing the airport for future growth.”
