ISSUED: 12/20/2022 6:02 AM www.weather.gov/CLE OVERVIEW: 

▪ High confidence continues for a multi-hazard storm system to reach the area Thursday night through Saturday.

▪ Significant winds and extreme cold, including dangerous wind chills, still appear to be the greatest threats from the storm.

There is very high confidence in strong winds across the region, including wind gusts above 40 mph on Thursday night in far NE OH and NW PA and 45-55 mph across the entire area Friday and Saturday. Winds could down trees and blow around unsecured items. Winds will pose a hazard to traveling high profile vehicles.

Winds would likely cause considerable blowing and drifting of any new snowfall.

Late Thursday Night into the Weekend

▪ There is very high confidence in very cold temperatures Friday through Sunday, including single digit or colder temperatures. Wind chills well below zero, including as low as -20 to -25°F, are possible Friday and Saturday night.

▪ There is still great uncertainty in how much snowfall to expect across the region at this time. However, accumulating snow is early Friday morning through early Saturday morning. Due to the immense size of the expected storm, snow could possibly extend into Saturday and Saturday night in the snow belt areas of Northeast Ohio and Northwest Pennsylvania.
