The National Weather Service in Cleveland has issued a Winter

EST Saturday. The Winter Storm Watch is no longer in effect.

Snow will develop across Northwest Ohio this morning as low
pressure moves across the Tennessee Valley. Accumulations during
the day today will range from 1 to 3 inches... but additional snow
will develop late tonight and persist through much of the day on
Saturday. By the time the snow tapers off Saturday evening... total snow
accumulations of 6 to 10 inches will be possible across Northwest
Ohio.

Gusty northerly winds between 20 and 30 mph will also accompany
this storm. This will lead to blowing and drifting of snow as well
as periods of reduced visibilities on area roadways tonight through
Saturday night.

A Winter Storm Warning is issued when severe winter weather is
expected. Heavy snow and/or ice will cause hazardous driving
conditions. If you will be traveling in the warning area you

extreme caution if travel is unavoidable. Stay tuned to NOAA
