Snow begins overnight Sunday into Monday

Arctic air will move into the area this afternoon and evening and with that cold air will come strong winds and lake enhanced snow. Initially the winds will be more westerly and that will blow the heaviest snow into the traditional snow belt areas east of Cleveland. By Monday morning we should have a couple of inches on the ground, but as the day progresses the winds will shift more to a northwesterly direction.  That will start to send the snow into the secondary snow belt of northern Portage and Summit counties.  By mid to late afternoon the snowfall rate Monday should be pretty significant. It will still be windy as well, so those of you who live up north will definitely know that winter is here.  The areas south of Akron will enjoy some snowfall, too...just not as much. By Tuesday evening we expect to have 4" to 8" of snow on the ground with the lighter amounts to the south and the heavier amounts up north. Enjoy!
