What’s Coming?

Saturday starts with light snow showers—about 1 to 2 inches are expected. It might not seem like much, but it’s enough to make roads slippery. Temperatures will hover around 39°F during the day but will drop to a cold 21°F by night. Sunday turns colder, with more snow expected. Another 1 to 2 inches will likely fall, and the highs won’t get past 24°F. By nighttime, it’ll feel even more intense as temperatures dip to just 9°F.

An Arctic Chill on the Way

Starting late Sunday and lasting into Wednesday, Cleveland will feel the full force of the polar vortex. Wind chills could drop as low as -25°F, which means frostbite can happen quickly if your skin isn’t covered. Take it seriously—it’s not the weekend to be outside for long. This extreme cold could also cause frozen pipes or car trouble, so it’s worth preparing ahead of time.

How to Get Ready

Here are some simple ways to stay safe and warm:

  • Drive Carefully: Even light snow can create slick spots. Take it slow, leave extra room between cars, and avoid unnecessary trips if the roads look bad.
  • Dress Warmly: Layers are key! Hats, gloves, and scarves are essential—cover everything you can when heading out.
  • Prep Your Home: Make sure your heater’s in good shape and let faucets drip to prevent frozen pipes. Stock up on food, water, and batteries, just in case.
  • Check on Others: Take a moment to check in on neighbors or family members, especially those who are older or need extra help. And don’t forget your pets—make sure they’re inside or have proper shelter.

Clevelanders Can Handle This

Yes, this weekend’s weather will be tough, but if there’s one thing Cleveland knows, it’s how to deal with winter. By staying safe and looking out for each other, we’ll get through this.
