Storm Update: 11 AM
A steady snow has spread across the area which looks to last through the afternoon and evening. Cold temperatures will allow for a very light and fluffy snow to accumulate in the 3 to 5 inch range by this evening. An additional 1 to 2 inches of snow is expected late this evening and into the overnight tonight. This could put several areas around 6 inches or more of snow by Wednesday morning.
Many of the area roads will likely see hazardous travel conditions especially during the peak of rush hour this evening. We will have the latest information on cancellations this evening and up to the minute information on any school closings or delays on WTOL or www.wtol.com

We continue to track a major winter storm moving towards the area.
Snow will begin Tuesday morning or midday, but should not cause a significant problem for the morning rush hour. Snow will turn steady and possibly heavy at times during the mid/late afternoon into the evening. Accumulations of a few inches will be likely by the evening rush hour, with additional snow Tuesday evening into Wednesday morning.

An update on snow
This season has only produced 9.2" of snow at Toledo Express Airport. This number is close to 5" below normal.
A major storm system that is providing heavy snow to the Plains and the Deep South will give us snow Tuesday, with some snow showers continuing Tuesday night into Wednesday. Another system could give us more snow next weekend.

Big snows continue to miss us
Persistent lake-effect snow bands will continue to add accumulation across parts of NE Ohio, NW PA & NY, SW Michigan, NW Indiana, and near the thumb of Michigan.
The snow in NW Indiana and extreme SW Michigan has been steady at times the last few days. By the time the lake-effect winds down late Sunday, some sections may have over 2 feet of snow on the ground.
The next item of interest is a big winter storm that will target the Plains and the southeastern United States. Parts of the deep south could pick up over 6 inches of snow Sunday into Monday. This storm will track south of our area and only provide light snow Tuesday into Wednesday. (BTW -- in the map below, the areas shaded in Michigan & Ohio are from the lake-effect snows described above)

Severe weather outbreak
A huge clash between unseasonably warm temperatures and bitter cold set the stage for a severe weather outbreak on Friday. The first wave hit parts of Missouri and Illinois around midday and early afternoon. A second wave hit the far south during the evening. Both sets of tornadoes caused fatalities.
Detailed tornado path and damage surveys: Missouri/Illinois Southern states
(This same system, although in a much weaker state, brought us the steady rain on New Year's Eve into Saturday morning.)
