WEATHER ALERT

The National Weather Service in Cleveland has issued a WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY for Northeast and North Central Ohio – the advisory remains in effect from 4PM this afternoon through 7AM Wednesday morning.

Low pressure will move into the upper Ohio Valley tonight – this storm will bring a mixture of snow, sleet and freezing rain to the area. Snow is expected to spread into the area this afternoon and early evening. It will likely become mixed with or change over to sleet and freezing rain.

Heavy amounts of snow or freezing rain are NOT expected – but it will be enough to make roads and surfaces quite icy. Snowfall will likely be an inch or two and around an tenth of an inch of freezing rain is possible.

A Winter Weather Advisory is normally issued for a variety of winter weather conditions such as light snow, blowing snow, sleet, freezing rain and wind chills. While the weather will be significant, the word advisory implies that severe weather is not anticipated.
