CLEVELAND, Ohio — Travel conditions across Northeast Ohio are expected to deteriorate in waves Friday as a clipper system and Arctic front move through the region, bringing multiple rounds of winter weather during both the morning and evening commutes.
While this is not expected to be a major snowstorm, the system is likely to create multiple periods of hazardous travel Friday. Widespread snowfall of 2 to 4 inches is expected across Northeast Ohio, with an additional inch or two possible in the snowbelt east of Cleveland.
