WEATHER ALERT

A Lake Effect SNOW ADVISORY remains in effect from 4PM Monday through 4PM Tuesday for Lorain and Medina Counties.

As a disturbance passes over Northern Ohio today there will be another surge of cold air that will spill across Lake Erie. As winds shift to the northeast and north overnight, expect to see lake effect snow reach further inland.

Snowfall amounts of 3 to 5 inches will be possible by Tuesday afternoon.

If the northerly winds can tap moisture off of Lake Huron there could be an intense band that sets up across Lorain, Medina and Summit counties tonight. If this does occur then snowfall amounts could be much higher through Tuesday morning.

Expect to see additional accumulations into Tuesday night before gradually ending on Wednesday.

Precautions / preparedness actions offered by the National Weather Service:
IN LAKE EFFECT SNOW THE WEATHER CAN VARY FROM LOCALLY HEAVY SNOW IN NARROW BANDS TO CLEAR SKIES JUST A FEW MILES AWAY. IF YOU WILL BE TRAVELING ACROSS THE REGION BE PREPARED FOR RAPID CHANGES IN ROAD AND VISIBILITY CONDITIONS.
