CLEVELAND, Ohio – While southern Michigan is expected to be hit by a winter storm system late Monday through early Tuesday, Greater Cleveland will be only about 1 to 2 inches from that storm system, according to national forecasters.

Although predictions from The national weather service, AccuWeather and Weather channel Forecasters say things will stay calm over the weekend, but northeast Ohioans should expect a wintry mix and freezing rain starting Monday night.

NWS meteorologist Alexa Maines said Saturday’s high will be in the mid-20s and overnight in their upper teens. Sunday will warm up to the low 30s at 32 degrees, she said. Temperatures will remain mid-30s for Monday and Tuesday, Maines said.

“For this weekend we will have a nice short time of calm weather with no snow on Saturday and Sunday,” she said. “Medina and Summit (counties) might see some snow on Sunday night.”

As soon as we arrive on Monday afternoon and in the evening we will see rain / snow showers.

“It’s just going to be some kind of chaos (weather),” Maines said. “If we get snow at the end, we might get a few inches.”

An exact number of snowfalls in Greater Cleveland is difficult to say right now as it could potentially be more of a rain mix than a snow mix, Maines said.

“The best chance of snow would be in southern Michigan and maybe even Toledo,” she said. “Monitor the forecast in the coming days. If you commute on Tuesday, give yourself a little more time with freezing rain, which can cause problems on the roads. In the coming days we will be more confident with the forecast. “
