Monday morning storm update

Things are still on track for a big weather event here in NE Ohio Tuesday night and Wednesday morning. There's not much showing up yet on radar out in the plains, but we should see things come together today and then move into the Ohio Valley.

For the Greater Akron area is looks like snow will begin Tuesday evening and continue overnight with freezing rain mixed in.  It's also going to get a bit windy. By Wednesday morning areas that see mostly snow will have 4-8 inches on the ground.  Most areas will see a mix of snow and freezing rain.  The freezing rain may produce 1/2" to 3/4" of ice.  If that actually happens, it will cause considerable damage to  power lines and trees.

The National Weather Service currently has us under a Winter Storm Watch.  That will be likely be  upgraded later today to a warning.
