Winter weather ahead: Cleveland could see six inches of lake effect snow, eastern counties more
CLEVELAND, Ohio—Winter weather is on the way. A cold front from the north is expected to bring heavy lake effect snow to the area along the eastern shore and inland areas of Lake Erie.
The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather warning for Cuyahoga, Ashtabula, Geauga, and Lake counties in Ohio and Erie and Crawford Counties in Pennsylvania beginning Monday at 10 p.m. until Wednesday morning.
Northeast Ohio and western Pennsylvania can expect periods of rain tonight transitioning into lake effect snow as temperatures plummet beginning Monday morning and continuing through Tuesday with snow accumulation up to a foot or more.
Initial periods of light to moderate lake effect snow are predicted in Ashtabula, Geauga and lake Counties beginning Monday morning, and may impact the morning and evening commutes.
Accumulations through the day on Monday are expected to be minimal and will primarily impact far northeastern Ohio- Ashtabula County and eastern Lake counties, as well as Erie and Crawford counties of Pennsylvania, but will gradually move further west, said Raelene Campbell, meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Cleveland.
“That’s going to be the name of the game for much of Monday, but the best chance of lake effect development is going to be Monday night into Tuesday morning,” explained Campbell. “Because that’s when winds will shift to have more of a northerly component,”
With those northern winds come much colder temperatures. On Monday night, temperatures are expected to drop into the upper teens and low 20s, however the strong winds are predicted to bring wind chills into the single digits. This will shift rain to snowfall, and the heaviest snow and most significant impacts are expected Monday night through Tuesday, where snowfall is expected at rates of 1-2 inches per hour with accumulation of 5-12 inches in the eastern Ohio counties.
Cuyahoga County residents should expect wind gusts of up to 35 miles per hour along with 6 inches of snow or more. The city of Cleveland is expected to see 4-6 inches of snow.
“It really just depends on that wind,” said Campbell.
Erie and Crawford Counties in Pennsylvania could see snow accumulations from 10-18 inches. Travel through these areas could be difficult.
By Tuesday afternoon, a southerly wind should begin to push the storm back to Buffalo, NY and the snowfall should begin to gradually taper off. Snow should stop in the Cleveland area by late Tuesday night or early Wednesday morning, and far east counties will follow.
Boaters should also take precautions during the storm. There is a small craft advisory from 1 a.m. Monday to 1 a.m. Wednesday for the nearshore waters of Lake Erie from Vermilion in Ohio to Ripley, New York. West winds of 20 to 25 knots and waves 6 to 9 feet are expected.

Deborah “Debby” Dayton
On May 17, Debby Dayton passed away after a life filled with love and meaning. She was a woman of strength and conviction. She was born December 25, 1949 to Larry and Ruthy Friedman in Paterson, New Jersey. In 1959 the family, which then included brothers Rob and Joe, moved to Cleveland, Ohio, dooming Debby to a lifetime of sports futility. Nonetheless, she continued to root for the Indians, Browns and Cavaliers throughout her life. Debby graduated from The Ohio State University 1971 with a BA in education. She got her first job teaching English at John Hay High School in Cleveland, where, for 7 years she helped 10th-12th graders appreciate the nuances of Shakespeare, Jane Austin and Ernest Hemingway. From 1978 to 2001, she taught at Thomas W. Harvey High School in Painesville. While there, she met fellow teacher Jim Dayton, and, six months later – eschewing the advice she often gave her students – they married. As retirement loomed, Debby was reluctant to leave the many students she knew needed a helping hand. So she became a certified guidance counselor, and, for the next 17 years, she worked at LEAF, helping high school students make wise choices about college and life. Along with a career devoted to making a difference for her “kids,” Debby was an avid gardener, turning her backyard into a serene oasis. She loved travel, food, music and sports. But above all, she loved her friends and her family: her husband, Jim: his two sisters, Janet and Lois; her brothers, Rob and Joe and their spouses Mindy and Maria; her nieces Natalie (Alex), Grace (Mirza), and Nina (fiancé Lucas); her nephew Peter; grandniece Rose and her grandnephew Kasim. As she did with her students, she had a profound impact on all of their lives. Her kindness, wisdom, generosity, sense of humor and love will be sorely missed. There will be calling hours for Debby on Saturday, June 8, 2024 from 4-7PM at Johnson Funeral Home and Crematory, 368 Mentor Ave., Painesville, Ohio 44077. Memorial contributions are suggested to LEAF at www.leaf-ohio.org. Online condolences available at www.johnsonfuneralservices.net
