Winter storm to bring snow, dangerous cold

OHIO — A storm system will bring widespread snow to the state, making for dangerous travel. Much of the state can expect several inches by Sunday morning.

The winter storm will push into the state by early afternoon, with snow spreading across the state. Dangerous travel is likely with heavy snow at times and gusty winds that could cause blowing and drifting. Most areas will get at least two to four inches of snow, with six inches of snow possible in some areas – especially in southern Ohio. Over six inches of snow could fall in areas northeast of Cleveland.

Winter weather alerts are in place through early Sunday.

As the storm moves out overnight, arctic air will move into the region. Many areas will have sub-zero wind chills by Sunday morning.

Cold weather alerts are in place across much of the state.

Northeast Ohio will still have to battle with some lake-effect snow on Sunday, which will add to the snow totals across the southeast. 

Once we get past Monday, we can expect a warming trend through Thursday.
