CLEVELAND — Are you ready? Another major winter storm is becoming more of a reality for Northeast Ohio as the ingredients come together. The highest impacts will be felt Wednesday through early Friday with periods of heavy rain, sleet, freezing rain and snow all on the table.
It appears that snow in excess of 10 inches will be a good bet during this time which will create super difficult travel conditions. Look for those winter storm watches to likely get expanded eastward later today or tonight. That means now is the time to prepare for what could be a significant winter storm with large impacts to travel mid-late week.
Remember to keep checking back with News 5 for the latest updates on the forecast, including additional watches and warnings. Also please try to keep a full tank of gas in your car in case you get stranded along with a first aid kit, flashlight and fresh batteries. Bottled water, non-perishable food, a blanket and a snow shovel would be a great idea to keep in the car as well. The winter storm should start as rain Wednesday a.m. with temperatures near 40. But temperatures will slide down all day Wednesday changing rain over to a wintry mix at times and eventually snow.
