The National Weather Service in Cleveland has issued a winter storm warning for Geauga County. This hour includes the towns of Chardon, South Russell, Bainbridge, Chesterland, Medfield and Burton. It was issued because heavy lake snowfall will be possible from late Saturday through late Sunday. This watch will be updated to either a winter weather advisory or a potential winter storm warning. Winter storm watches are issued for our area when there is a possibility of at least 6 inches of heavy snow falling within the next 18 to 48 hours. We will keep you updated with any updates.
Three to six inches of snow will be possible in a very small portion of our viewing area within northern Geauga County. Most of Northeast Ohio will see less than 2 inches of snow. One to three inches will be possible across eastern Cuyahoga, southern Lake, and Ashtabula counties. Travel can be very difficult in the snow belt. It will also be windy, so patchy snow could significantly reduce visibility. Click here for more information on what to expect this weekend.
