Arctic Blast Grips Northeast Ohio: Winter Weather Advisory in Effect, More Snow on the Way

CLEVELAND (WJW) — Northeast Ohio is in the deep freeze, with temperatures plummeting to levels not seen this late in the year since 1958. Scattered lake effect snow showers continue to impact the region, leaving up to 2 inches of accumulation in some areas earlier today.

A Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect for Geauga and inland Ashtabula County until 9 p.m. this evening. Residents in these areas should be prepared for slippery road conditions and reduced visibility.

The arctic air mass is keeping daytime highs in the upper 20s, with wind chills making it feel like the teens.

“It’s brutally cold out there,” says Fox 8 Chief Meteorologist Scott Sabol. “Make sure to bundle up, protect your pipes, and check on vulnerable neighbors.”

Looking ahead, expect flurries on Friday and a more significant snow system to move in late Saturday into Sunday. The southern half of the viewing area is expected to see the heaviest snowfall.

This weekend will be the coldest of the season so far, with highs only reaching the teens and 20s. Wind chills will plummet below zero Saturday and Sunday night, posing a significant risk of frostbite.

While a brief respite from the cold is expected around December 19-25, the cold weather is forecast to return with a vengeance between Christmas and New Year’s.
