7 More Inches Of Snow Could Fall In 2 Northeast Ohio Counties

Monday night brought the first heavy snow of the season for Northeast Ohioans that live in the snow band. Another flurry of snow could bring up to 7 inches on Tuesday night.

"The expectations are that light lake effect snow showers will persist through the day today before transitioning into a heavier lake effect snow event with a trough passage tonight into Wednesday before diminishing sometime on Wednesday night," the National Weather Service said in a Winter Weather Advisory.

The highest snow fall totals are expected in the hills of northern Geauga and eastern Ashtabula. The Advisory is in place until 4 a.m. on Thursday for those two counties.

All of Northeast Ohio is under a Wind Advisory until 1 p.m. on Tuesday. Gusts were hitting 57 mph on Monday. Tuesday could see winds hit 35 mph. The winds could scatter snow along the roads making conditions more hazardous.

The National Weather Service is advising Northeast Ohioans that their evening commutes could be very difficult. Plan on spending a little extra time on the roads Tuesday night and Wednesday morning.
