Northern Ohio is expected to experience hazardous weather conditions starting on Monday. A cold front will be responsible for bringing gusty winds and accumulating snow, which will have an impact on travel and daily activities throughout the region.
The National Weather Service is predicting wind gusts ranging from 30 to 45 mph for Monday afternoon. The strongest winds are anticipated along the I-71 corridor and the lakeshore. Late on Monday, snow showers will start, resulting in 2-4 inches of accumulation in Northeast Ohio and up to 5 inches in Northwest Pennsylvania by Tuesday morning. Motorists should be prepared for icy roads, reduced visibility, and potential delays.
Monday’s temperature will reach 34°F, but the strong winds will make it feel colder with wind chills in the 20s. There will be chances of snow until Tuesday morning, and there could be additional showers on Wednesday. Throughout the rest of the week, the highs will stay in the low to mid-30s, and the overnight lows will drop into the teens.
It is important for residents to take precautions during periods of heavy snow and strong winds. To ensure safety, outdoor items should be properly secured. Additionally, it is recommended to stay updated on real-time weather alerts and avoid unnecessary travel, especially during peak snow and wind periods. As conditions are expected to worsen overnight, it is advisable to plan ahead and allow extra time for the Tuesday commute.
As winter weather settles in, it’s important to stay prepared and keep an eye on the changing forecasts.
