* WHAT...Heavy lake effect snow possible. Total snow accumulations in excess of 6 inches possible with locally higher amounts up to 12 inches where snow bands persist. Winds could gust as high as 45 mph. * WHERE...A portion of northeast Ohio. * WHEN...From Wednesday afternoon through late Thursday night. * IMPACTS...Visibilities may drop below 1/4 mile due to falling and blowing snow. Travel could be difficult. The hazardous conditions could impact the Wednesday evening and Thursday morning commutes. Gusty winds could bring down tree branches. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...An Arctic front will cross the region on Wednesday night and could bring a band of heavier snow with quickly deteriorating conditions, including a quick inch or two of snow, visibility of 1/4 mile or less, and wind gusts to 45 mph. Travel could quickly become difficult across the region before lake effect snow bands enter for the rest of the event. Strong wind gusts as high as 45 mph may result in blowing snow and local reductions in visibility. The large snowpack across far northeast Ohio and northwest Pennsylvania from the recent lake effect event may drift and cause hazardous travel conditions.
