Light snow is predicted to drift over parts of Northeast Ohio and Northwest Pennsylvania until Wednesday morning, causing minor disruptions to travel in snowbelt areas. Dry weather is forecast during the day Tuesday, with warmer, sunnier weather arriving on Thursday.
According to the National Weather Service Cleveland, scattered snow showers may form Tuesday night and last until early Wednesday, primarily in traditional snowbelt areas such as Ashtabula, Geauga, Lake, and Erie counties in Ohio, and Crawford and Erie counties in Pennsylvania. The showers are likely to be light and sporadic, with little accumulation.
Temperatures in the region will range from 40 to 50°F on Tuesday, before dropping to 26-30°F overnight. On Wednesday, peak temperatures will reach the upper 40s before improving dramatically. By Thursday, people may expect a bright sky and high temperatures ranging from 45 to 58°F.
Travelers should use caution during early morning commutes Wednesday in areas prone to lake-effect snow. Drivers should give extra time and be cautious on slippery roads.
The warming trend continues throughout the weekend, providing a welcome relief from the recent cold spell and a return to more seasonable weather.
