Storm to Drench Northeast Ohio Sunday Before Monday Flip to Snow and Cold

Forecasters call for about 1.5 inches of rain, with lake-effect snow to follow as a strong cold front races through early Monday.

Overview

  • Rain moved through Northeast Ohio on Friday, with a quieter, mostly dry Saturday expected before the stronger system arrives.
  • Sunday brings widespread, occasionally heavy rain and gusty winds, with temperatures surging into the 50s and roughly 1.5 inches of rain projected by Monday morning, according to the National Weather Service.
  • An early-Monday cold front is forecast to cross eastern Ohio and western Pennsylvania, dropping temperatures rapidly and changing rain to snow.
  • Accumulating snow is expected Monday night in the Northeast Ohio snowbelt, where lake-effect and blowing snow could create hazardous travel; lows tumble into the upper teens and lower 20s with lower wind chills.
  • The Southeast stays unusually warm through Sunday, then turns cooler early next week, with Jacksonville trending dry and parts of Alabama seeing only light rain under a quarter inch and no severe storms.
