Cleveland, OH – Snow showers are forecast to sweep across Ohio from west to east this afternoon and evening, bringing bursts of snow that may create slick and hazardous roads.

According to the National Weather Service in Cleveland, the snow activity will intensify along a cold front, with accumulation likely to make roads snow-covered, particularly after sunset. Areas from Toledo to Cleveland, and extending into Youngstown, are under heightened risk for icy conditions. Drivers are urged to proceed cautiously, as visibility may also decrease during snow bursts.

The weather service advises Ohio residents to anticipate quick changes in road conditions. Those traveling in the evening hours should allow extra time and reduce speeds, especially in regions along Lake Erie and the northeastern part of the state, where lake-effect snow could enhance totals.

This weather pattern is expected to diminish by late evening, but freezing temperatures overnight could lead to persistent icy patches into Friday morning. Stay updated on changing conditions and monitor local advisories.

For safety, keep emergency kits in vehicles, avoid sudden braking, and stay informed through real-time updates from the National Weather Service.
