Lake Effect Snow Likely In Parts Of Ohio: Forecast

CLEVELAND — Lake effect snow could continue in parts of Ohio through Saturday morning, but most of the winter storm has left the region, according to National Weather Service forecasts.

"Much of the snow has cleared the area this morning, but lake effect snow showers are expected to redevelop today, peaking late this afternoon," the agency said on Twitter. "New snow in the snow belt areas could exceed one inch with up to 3 inches in northwest Pennsylvania."

A brief burst of winter snow started Friday afternoon, bringing either a dusting of snow or more significant accumulation to your community, depending on where you live. Cities east of Cleveland were more likely to get serious snowfall, while towns west of the city were more likely to get a dusting. Regions east of I-71 were particularly hard hit, the National Weather Service said.

Temperatures will remain painfully cold on Saturday, with a high of approximately 25 degrees, and an overnight low of 15 degrees. Luckily, temperatures should start to warm on Sunday, when temperatures should climb into the comparatively balmy 40s.

By the middle of the coming work week, temperatures will again be in the 60s. St. Patrick's Day celebrations could be particularly lovely in 2022, if current forecasts hold.
