Accumulating Lake-Effect Snow Possible for Cleveland, Ashtabula, and Northeast Ohio Friday Into Saturday as Phasing Storm Brings Rain, Thunder, and Wintry Mix

ASHTABULA, Ohio — A developing storm system is shaping up to bring a mix of rain, wintry weather, and lake-effect snow to Northern Ohio over the next few days. The latest model guidance shows growing support for the storm to phase with a mid-level trough at nearly the perfect time for the region. That timing could make a big difference in how strong the system becomes and how much wintry weather follows. The period to watch most closely is Friday into Saturday morning, when accumulating lake-effect snow is possible.
