If you read, hear, or see anything about how much snow we are going to get this weekend it will most likely be wrong information. The honest reason is that we do not know the track this thing will take yet.
@cleveland19news
It's alarming how many people don't pay attention to the weather. Many people today will wear heavy coats in Ohio today because they are used to it being cold. Then they step outside and act surprised. Keep an eye out as to how many people are dressing like it's 20 degrees.
Cleveland, Ohio it is 34 degrees at noon. Arctic air and significant lake effect snow next week. I do have some good news though...I just saved a bunch of money on my car insurance. Have a good weekend.

why I can't wait for the arctic air to retreat...I won't have to see as many video clips of people throwing boiling water up in the air.

I think I'll take a break from social media on Saturday. I don't want to see all the snow pics, comments, and people getting all worked up.

Pretty high confidence level that this year will be the warmest

7 DAY: I know numbers are missing. The weather team voted earlier on temperatures, but we haven't tallied the results yet. They went home to sleep. Be patient please. We will let you know on the outcome as soon as they come in.
It's 1:23 a.m. and I'm in the weather office. Can't believe I'm forecasting temps. around 70 degrees for Saturday in Cleveland freaking Ohio in January.

Why do I get the feeling that all meteorologists in northeast Ohio will be scratching their heads tomorrow? This storm has been a challenge to forecast.

NORTHEAST OHIO: How about wishing this young lady a Happy Birthday today. Estelle French. She is only 102. Lived in Cleveland her entire life. Learn more about her on 19 News at 9:30 a.m.
Just sent en email out to the producers that I would pay them if they don't run this Farmers Almanac story that is floating around out there that this is going to be a bad winter. They say that every year to get a buzz going. Same thing...different year.
@cleveland19news
All these bug experts were saying the Cicadas are in the forecast for northeast Ohio. Now today we ran a story saying they won't be that bad here. I wish I can be wrong at my job 50% of the time and still have one.
@cleveland19news
NE Ohio...it will basically be a 6" to 10" snowfall with some totals around a foot. Wind a big factor Saturday night. Very difficult for road crews, if not, impossible.
@cleveland19news
This is one of the more challenging forecasts for us in recent memory. Get ready northeast Ohio. It's going to get real messy around here no matter what happens.
@cleveland19news
Final Thought: Don't focus on the snow totals so much and who is saying what. The wind is going to be a big player and it doesn't really matter how much snow you get. The wind is what will make it bad. It will be difficult to measure the snow anyway.
@cleveland19news
Just heard on the news that there will be record travel Labor Day weekend. My prediction is record travel Thanksgiving and Christmas as well. Also, Easter, Memorial Day, 4th of July, and Labor Day of 2020.🤣
@cleveland19news
I'm still not sold on how intense the arctic air will be in Ohio next week. Yes...it will be frigid, but how frigid is still in question. The team continues to monitor closely.

Doppler is in the weather office today giving us his 2 cents on the cold and snow heading our way, He said "No Bones About It."

FRIDAY NIGHT: This could be the worst of it for northeast Ohio. Blizzard conditions with snow and zero mile visibility. Wind gusts over 60 mph at times. Wind chills 10 to 15 below zero.
We do not have a new set, but we still have the most accurate forecast in Cleveland 15 years in a row. 19 News This Morning is on right now.

Hey Friends...this is going to happen starting Monday. I'm very excited and ready to take on the challenge of waking you up Tanchak style on

. I'll see you Monday starting at 4:30 a.m. on Cleveland 19 News.
Good morning out there! Here's the weather story today for northeast Ohio. It's a weekend forecast we all deserve. It's more of a typical "June" pattern setting up. I'll explain starting at 4:30 a.m.on 19 News This Morning.
Got into work at 12:45 a.m. to start analyzing this weekend beast. Quick look at things and I already know that you will start to see forecasts trending down a little on snow totals here in Ohio and faster movement. That means earlier start and earlier end. More to come.
Quick update for Northern Ohio regarding the snow tomorrow...the storm is tracking even farther south. The result will be little or no snow for us. The drier, arctic air is too much to overcome.

BREAKING: Downtown Cleveland has disappeared. Any information to the whereabouts of Cleveland will be much appreciated. Stay with 19 News This Morning and the 19 First Alert Weather App on this breaking news situation.
UPDATE: New data just in giving us an increase in snow totals. Many more now in the 9 to 13 inch range. The storm did take a little wobble to north. That is most likely the reason for this.
The NWS is currently experiencing a major national outage impacting the distribution of NWS products and access to our webpages. We'll let you know as soon as the issue is resolved. Thank you for your patience.

My personal driving tip on snow covered roads...Don't hit the brake when changing lanes. Coast into the other lane. It's the braking that makes you spin out.

CLEVELAND AREA: This is the data we have regarding the rain situation. No rain since May 20th. The longest stretch of dry weather happened in 1963. 27 days no measurable rain.
📡 Key West radar has had a busy night, but not because of weather! The most impressive display of migratory birds so far this year occurred overnight. This product shows biological targets in green/yellow flying north over the Keys. Showers/rain are depicted in darker blues. 🐦
Nice job by this station. Unfortunately, this issue will never go away. The viewers will never understand unless it's their house or property getting damaged.

NORTHEAST OHIO: If you want to see that comet tonight. Around 10:00 p.m. look to the northwest below the Big Dipper. Excellent viewing tonight. Take good pics.

home opener forecast. We have sunny and 45 degrees. We have certainly seen worse. Make it a fantastic season guys!

The calendar says today is the first day of spring. What it means to me...it's March 20th, the sun angle is getting higher, and we continue to gain daylight. Other than that, it is insignificant.
