MESSY TRAVEL EXPECTED TUESDAY - SNOW & WIND

Total Snowfall - Tonight into Tuesday Night

🌨️ FORECAST DISCUSSION: COLD FRONT & ARCTIC BLAST COMBO

A cold front will sweep through the region tonight into Wednesday night, bringing a wave of moisture and light to moderate snowfall. Most areas away from Lake Erie will see less than 1 inch, but snowbelt communities near the lake could pick up close to 4 inches, with 2 inches possible just outside the snowbelt. This will be a relatively minor accumulation event — but the snow isn’t the main concern.

Tuesday Morning Wind Gusts

TUESDAY: BLOWING SNOW & REDUCED VISIBILITY

The bigger issue Tuesday will be strong winds and powdery snow, both on the ground and falling from the sky.

• Wind gusts may reach up to 40 mph at times

• Blowing and drifting snow will reduce visibility and quickly cover roadways

• Even with light new accumulation, hazardous travel conditions are likely

This is a classic setup where snow amounts aren’t the problem — visibility and road coverage are.

Tuesday Morning Wind Chill Forecast

🥶 BRUTAL COLD: WIND CHILLS DOWN TO –28°F

Tuesday’s temperatures will be brutally cold, with highs struggling to escape the single digits.

• Wind chills Tuesday morning could plunge to –28°F

• Frostbite risk increases dramatically in these conditions

• Tuesday will be a day to stay indoors if possible

Between the light snow, strong winds, and Arctic air, Tuesday will be a brutal winter day across Northern Ohio. Bundle up, drive cautiously, and stay tuned for updates.
