Cleveland area Weather Impact forecast: Lake-effect snow continues with chill in the air

Your 11 p.m. Greater Cleveland and Northeast Ohio Weather Impact forecast for Nov. 29, 2024: Lake-effect snow has been going all day long and will continue overnight, especially for areas east of Cleveland. Extreme impacts will be out east. Traveling is highly discouraged along I-90 and Highway 20 in the primary snowbelt. Lake effect snow showers will be intense, possible snowfall rates of 2-3" per hour at times. The westerly flow across the lake will continue to produce a steady stream of heavy snowfall downwind. The target zone will be Ashtabula, Lake, Geauga and northeast Cuyahoga counties. Snow warnings and advisories are in effect and will likely be extended through the weekend. An additional 1' or more will be possible by Saturday.

Winds shift a bit on Saturday to hopefully push the worst of the snow north over the open water. That should bring a welcomed (but brief) break. We will be watching for a wind shift Sunday that could bring an inch or two of snow to the secondary snowbelt (Cleveland metro) by Monday morning. That will be something to watch closely.

Everyone will have to deal with cold temperatures and breezy winds for the rest of the week and most of next. Highs will struggle in the upper 20s and 30s. Even if you're not in a high impact snow area, you'll still want to have the winter gear handy to keep warm.
