Timing out rain, snow, and chilly air to start a stinker of a weekend

The doomiest and gloomiest part of the work week is upon us. After widespread rain moved out yesterday, a regime of clouds, lake-effect, and chill has set in. A band of rain and snow showers has already set up to our west, with another band likely getting its act together to our east.

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.

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.
