Description
Winter Storm Watch issued November 27 at 6:30PM EST until December 2 at 7:00AM EST by NWS Cleveland OH
* WHAT...Heavy lake effect snow possible. Total snow accumulations
in excess of 8 inches possible.
* WHERE...Crawford, Northern Erie, and Southern Erie Counties.
* WHEN...From late Thursday night through Monday morning.
* IMPACTS...There is increasing confidence in a multi-day lake
effect snow event off Lake Erie, beginning Thursday night.
However, there still remains some uncertainty in the exact
placement and timing of lake effect snow bands across the region
and how quickly snow will taper off early next week. Any heavy
lake effect snow bands will have the potential for 1 to 2 inch per
hour snowfall rates and poor visibility, as low as one quarter of
a mile, which could make travel difficult to impossible,
especially along Interstates 90, 86, and 79. The hazardous
conditions could impact the Friday morning and evening commutes
and any post-holiday travel.
Monitor the latest forecasts for updates on this situation.
Persons should consider delaying all travel. If travel is absolutely
necessary, drive with extreme caution. Consider taking a winter
storm kit along with you, including such items as tire chains,
booster cables, flashlight, shovel, blankets and extra clothing.
Also take water, a first aid kit, and anything else that would help
you survive in case you become stranded.
During lake effect snow, the weather can vary from bands of locally
heavy snow to dry weather just a few miles away. Visibilities can
also vary greatly. Be prepared for rapid changes in weather,
visibility, and road conditions.
