Expect snow showers, 30% chance of precipitation coming between 2pm and 4pm pushed along by a stiff west wind around 17 mph.

Mostly cloudy all day in the central and southern Counties, with a high near freezing and that brisk west wind, around 18 mph, gusting to 32 mph. Total daytime snow accumulation of less than a half inch possible, be prepared for wind chill and slippery driving conditions.

In the Lake Erie drainage basin, the northwest half runs below normal to much below normal, the northeast Ohio watersheds flowing to Lake Erie are rated seasonal normal to above normal. There are no high flows or flooding recorded in Ohio as of this report, no extreme low flows in the network Friday.
