Merry Christmas!
A BLIZZARD WARNING has been issued for: Lakeshore Ashtabula, Lake, Cuyahoga, Lorain, Erie, Huron, Sandusky and Ottawa counties from 11AM Wednesday to 7AM Thursday. (Blizzard warning criteria are: wind greater than 35mph and visibility less than 1/4 mile for 3 or more hours.)
A WINTER STORM WARNING goes into effect for the rest of northern Ohio from 7AM Wednesday to 7AM Thursday.
PLEASE - Don't get caught up in the technicalities of a blizzard warning versus a winter storm warning. ALL of northern Ohio will have a nasty day Wednesday. The wind will be a little higher in the blizzard warning areas and visibilities may be consistently lower, but we will have very tough driving conditions across all of our counties.
Here is the set-up: A powerful winter storm system will move from the deep south to the New England/Mid-Atlantic coast. As the storm moves northeast, a swath of very heavy snow will move into northern Ohio from the south. It will also be quite windy.
The snow will start across northern Ohio by midday Wednesday. A steady moderate to heavy snow will persist through the afternoon with very heavy, steady snow continuing in the late afternoon through evening.
When combined with the brisk wind, blizzard conditions are possible in all areas, but most likely in the blizzard warning area.
6" to 10" of snow will fall across ALL of northern Ohio through the day and evening. An additional 2" to 5" will fall Wednesday night before the snow cuts down to light showers and flurries early Thursday morning.
Storm totals by midday Thursday will be 8" to 12" with the possibility of up to 15" of snow.
This will be a constantly evolving situation.
Things to remember:
- The snow will be wet and heavy, so use caution if shoveling.
- Driving will be extremely difficult.
-If driving south along I-71, expect heavy snow the entire drive through Cincinnati.
-If driving west on I-80/90, expect heavy snow showers in much of northern Ohio...tapering off to flurries and light snow in Indiana and Michigan.
-If driving south on I-77 or east on I-80/76, expect snow to change over to a wintry mix.
-If driving east on I-90 toward Buffalo, expect snow, but leaving earlier rather than later is a good idea.
- The airports will have problems with arrivals and departures. So will other regional airports in Columbus and Pittsburgh.
-Bring in the pets and secure outdoor buildings and items.
-Consider telling your kids to wear bike helmets while sledding, tubing and/or skiing or snowboarding.
Here is a look at the rest of the forecast:
Thursday: Scattered light snow showers. Breezy. Near 30
Friday: Partly sunny. Near 30
Saturday: Mostly cloudy with snow likely. Low 30s
Sunday: Early snow showers linger, then partly cloudy. Near 30
Monday: Partly cloudy early, then scattered snow later. Upper 30s
New Year's Day: Mostly cloudy with scattered snow showers. Upper 20s
