Winter Weather Update: COLD AIR COMING, WINTERY MIX, SNOW!

WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY FOR NORTHERN OHIO FOR FRIDAY -- ACCUMULATIONS HAVE BEEN INCREASED FOR FRIDAY. 1-3 IN CLEVELAND; 2-4 INCHES MEDINA; 3-5"+ AKRON, CANTON SOUTH. MORE UPDATES ON FOX8 NEWS

Temps early Thursday made it into the lower 60s. This marks the third straight day with temps above 50; 2 days in the 60s. The arctic air will affect Ohio in two waves. The first is late Friday and Saturday. The stronger one is next week. If we stay in the 20s on Saturday after 60s two days prior is a rare occurrence.  It hasn't happened since 1972!

Two waves of winery weather will develop along the temperature boundary later this evening and tonight.  It glances northern Ohio with some sleet/wet snow with no significant accumulations. The second wave is the "biggie". That develops on the same boundary tomorrow morning. Snow will converge along the front/boundary and start accumulating by midday.

Here are the preliminary accumulations for Friday:

Get ready for a repeat of this late Sunday and Monday....sleet/ice and snow. This time, the temperatures will DROP MUCH MORE behind it next week!

HIGH TEMPERATURES FOR TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY!
