Cleveland, OH – A wintry mix of snow, sleet, and freezing rain is expected to impact northwestern Ohio and parts of Pennsylvania starting Wednesday afternoon and continuing into Thursday morning.

According to the National Weather Service in Cleveland, accumulating snow and ice are likely, with Lucas County expected to see higher snowfall totals. A Winter Storm Watchis in effect for portions of the region, including northwest Ohio, where the storm could create hazardous travel conditions.

The system, driven by low pressure, will bring a mix of precipitation, including freezing rain, which could lead to slick roads and possible power outages. The heaviest snow accumulations are expected in areas near the Ohio-Pennsylvania border.

Residents are urged to stay updated on forecasts as the storm’s track may shift, impacting accumulation totals. Officials recommend preparing for difficult travel conditions and monitoring weather alerts.

Safety Tips:
