When will snow start in Northeast Ohio? Latest timing and snow map
CLEVELAND, Ohio — Snow will impact Northeast Ohio this weekend, and the timing for when it begins will vary depending on your location.
Forecasters say lake-effect snow will spread across the snowbelt of Northeast Ohio through early Saturday afternoon, while a clipper system from the southwest will bring a broader area of accumulating snow to inland areas later Saturday.
As a result, a lake-effect snow warning has been issued for Cuyahoga, Lake, Geauga and Ashtabula counties, while a winter weather advisory has been issued for the rest of Northeast Ohio.
Once snow begins accumulating, travel conditions are expected to deteriorate quickly, with slick roads and reduced visibility likely. Motorists can check ohgo.com for the latest road conditions.
The latest snow timing across Northeast Ohio
The first impacts will be felt in the primary snowbelt, where lake-effect snow will develop by early afternoon. Northeastern Cuyahoga County and much of Ashtabula, Lake and Geauga counties could see snow begin before 2 p.m. Saturday, according to the National Weather Service in Cleveland.
Between 2 and 5 p.m. Saturday, accumulating snow will approach from the southwest and spread into areas outside the snowbelt. By Saturday afternoon and evening, snow is expected to become more widespread across much of the region.
Latest snow map: What it shows
The newest snow map from the weather service shows little change to expected snowfall, with higher amounts in the snowbelt and lower totals farther inland.
Most communities outside the primary snowbelt are expected to see 1 to 4 inches of snow from Saturday’s system, while 5 to 10 inches remain possible in the snowbelt through Sunday night. The highest totals are most likely east of Cleveland, where lake-effect snow is forecast to persist the longest.
Snow continues into Sunday
Snow will not end once Saturday’s system moves through. As bone-chilling Arctic air moves across Lake Erie, conditions will remain favorable for lake-effect snow to continue into Sunday.
The primary snowbelt is expected to bear the brunt of the impact, where persistent or occasionally shifting snow bands could continue producing accumulating snow. Areas outside the snowbelt could also see additional accumulations Sunday as lake-effect bands push inland at times.
Forecasters warn snowfall rates could reach 1 to 2 inches per hour within stronger bands, leading to rapidly changing conditions.

CLEVELAND (WJW) — (WJW) — The National Weather Service has extended its EXTREME HEAT WARNING for all of Northeast Ohio.
It will remain in effect until 8 p.m. on Friday, July 3, in Ashland, Ashtabula, Crawford, Cuyahoga, Erie, Geauga, Holmes, Huron, Lake, Lorain, Mahoning Medina, Ottawa, Portage, Richland, Sandusky, Stark, Summit, Trumbull and Wayne counties; and until 10 p.m. Friday, July 3, in Carroll, Coshocton and Tuscarawas counties.
The heat waves continues! An EXTREME HEAT WARNING will remain in effect through 8 p.m. Friday. Heat indices could top 105 degrees during the hottest time of day on Friday.
Once again, there will not be much relief from the heat and humidity overnight. Tonight lows will be in the mid to upper 70s again. Feeling warmer with the higher humidity. Mostly clear skies.
Friday will be the last sweltering summer day before the heat starts to back off for the Fourth of July holiday weekend. There is the chance of rain and storms Friday evening, around 7pm that could go through the late evening. This may impact some 4th of July celebrations on Friday. Any storm that pops up we’ll have to watch for the potential of gusty winds, heavy downpours and large hail.
This is what the radar could look like by the time some Fireworks celebrations are expected Friday evening. We have a level 2 out of 5 chance of any storm turning severe, meaning that 1 or 2 have the chance.
The upper-level ridge, or heat dome, will start to breakdown on Friday. This means two things. The first is it will go from being very hot and humid to being very warm and humid. The second thing is the chance of rain and threat of storms will return.
The Fourth of July holiday weekend will be far from a washout! There will be more dry time than time with downpours and storms. However, clusters of downpours and storms will move through Northeast Ohio at times. This means some Fourth of July events, backyard BBQs, pool parties, and firework shows could be impacted by rain and storms.
With all the heat and humidity around, any downpours or storms that develop could be strong and produce gusty winds, small hail, torrential rain, and lightning. Here’s the latest 8 Day Forecast:

Mason: I’m prepared to come out on top
“I’m excited. I’m super excited,” Mason said. “This is something me and my brothers have been looking forward to doing since we were amateurs. We fought on the same card a few times as amateurs, and all of us did it together on the last show my father threw here in Cleveland. It was huge.”
“At that time, we were like, ‘Yo, when we do this on a professional level, it’s going to be big for Cleveland.’ And now, it’s big for not only Cleveland, but it’s on TNT, so this is a national stage, a world stage with DAZN. I’m just excited to be able to put this show on with two of my brothers on the card.”
“I feel like it [fight vs Sam Noakes] was definitely a much-needed experience. That’s not the type of fight you have all the time in your career. It was something I felt like I had to do that night. Every fight is different, and it definitely gave me some insight into how I’ll approach the rest of my career. So, it was a much-needed experience and a great fight.”
“It [opponent change] was definitely unexpected. Albert Bell – that’s our guy from Toledo. But it’s boxing. You’ve got to be prepared for anything, and I’m prepared to come out on top. Everything happens for a reason.”
“One thing I do want to say is, I’m the youngest world champion in boxing for a reason, and I’m prepared to show that when I step into the ring.”
“Boxing is offense, defense and IQ, and you’ve got to put it together and tailor it to the person you’re stepping in the ring with. So, with the opponent switch, I just have to tailor it to the person across the ring from me, and that’s Albert Bell.”
Bell: We’re here now, and that’s all that matters
“I mean, it caught me by surprise,” Bell said on stepping in to face Mason on short notice. “It was an ideal opponent for me. I wasn’t really thinking about fighting Abdullah, especially not this soon. But everything made sense. I talked to my pops about it, and it made sense, so I stepped in to save the card, get my world title opportunity and put on a show for all of Ohio.”
“I mean, I get turned down by a lot of guys. I’m not saying that in a cocky way or trying to act like I’m the boogeyman or anything like that, but a lot of guys say no when my name comes across their table. I would’ve had the name I was supposed to have by now if it weren’t for that, but what’s delayed is not denied. We’re here now, and that’s all that matters.”
“I just need to be the best version of myself. I know he’s coming to be the best version of himself. He’s prepared, I’m prepared. We’re ready. We’re two top fighters, and we’re professionals. We’re both Ohioans. We’ve got history with each other, and it’s gonna be a show for sure.”
Mason vs Bell undercard
In the co-feature, Bruce Carrington (17-0, 10 KOs) of Brooklyn makes the first defense of his WBC featherweight title against Rene Palacios (19-0-1, 10 KOs) of Mexico.
On the undercard, Cleveland’s Delante “Tiger” Johnson (17-0, 8 KOs) takes on Canada-based Mexican Christopher Guerrero (16-0, 9 KOs) at welterweight.
