Winter Weather Alert: Snow and Slushy Roads Slow Commute in Northeast Ohio
The region is experiencing the first snow of the season, impacting the Monday morning commute with snow showers expected to bring light to moderate snowfall, especially along and east of Highway 71 where 1-2 inches could accumulate. Many areas will see flurries or light snow tonight, with pavement temperatures initially warm enough to melt snow on contact, but colder temperatures and gusty winds on Monday morning will cause slick patches on bridges, overpasses, and roads covered with leaves. The snow is accompanied by low visibility and slushy roads, resulting in a slow and cautious commute. Temperatures will feel like the teens early Monday and only reach around 34°F during the day, with wind chills in the 20s. Authorities advise caution on icy patches, especially on bridges and overpasses, and warn of potential slick spots from leaves covered in snow. Weather alerts and live radar are available for real-time updates.
