It’s only logical that March often comes “in like a lion and goes out like a lamb” because a warmer season is on its way, but today is March 1 and that lion appears to be about to roar. A winter storm watch is in effect by the National Weather Service in Cleveland. The storm watch is in effect from 10 p.m. today through Sunday evening. Snow accumulation could exceed six inches.
A winter storm will move across the region tonight and Sunday. Along with the front is a wave of low pressure bringing snow that may be accompanied by a brief period of freezing rain or sleet, along a line mainly south from Marion to Canton. Counties from northern Ohio south to Morrow, Knox, and Holmes will be impacted.
Snow will overspread the area by midnight and will continue through Sunday afternoon.
The snow will diminish Sunday evening as drier air and high pressure spreads into the area from the north. According to the weather service, snowfall associated with the low pressure system moving through the Tennessee valley on Sunday night is now expected to remain mostly south of the forecast area.
Icy and snow covered roads along with reduced visibilities are likely. Travel Saturday night and Sunday will be affected.
Stay tuned for possible warnings of changing conditions.
