Winter Weather Could Bring 5 Inches of Snow to Northeast Ohio

Ready for snow in April?

The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory for Lorain, Cuyahoga, Lake, Geauga and several other counties in North Ohio starting at 9:00 Friday night and lasting until 6:00 Saturday night.

According to a National Weather Service forecast, the entirety of Northeast Ohio could see 3-5 inches of snow dumped on the region overnight. Higher amounts of snow may be possible in areas with higher terrain and along the snow belt off the lake. The Weather Service expects the greatest amount of snow to fall along and north of the Ohio Turnpike.

According to the advisory rain will turn to snow after sunset on Friday and continue through Saturday afternoon. The heaviest snowfall will occur overnight, from midnight to noon.

Wasn't March 20 supposed to be the first day of Spring?

And Northeast Ohio residents won't only have to worry about snow, it's going to be unseasonably cold as well. The Weather Service predicted a high of 31 degrees and a low of 27 degrees on Friday. Saturday is even worse with a high of 31 and a low of 24 degrees. And with winds that could reach 30 miles-per-hour, it could feel like the temperature is in the teens.

The cold weather will continue through the weekend, but there's hope for next week. The high on Monday is a scorching 51 degrees, according to the Weather Service.

So, bundle up because the sun won't come out tomorrow.
