NE Ohio in for a bumpy weather ride

With virtually every meteorologist noting the approach of one nasty storm in the form of a bent 

of a Polar Vortex, NE Ohio will experience a dramatic shift in the weather from Tuesday

to Wednesday. Highs will got from the 60s on Monday and Tuesday into the 30s for the rest

of the week with wind chill possibly being in the mid-teens along with lake-effect

snow squalls. 

Here is the official National Weather Service's Hazardous Weather Outlook for

both northwest Pennsylvania and Northeast Ohio: 

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR NORTHEAST OHIO AND NORTHWEST
PENNSYLVANIA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT.

HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS NOT EXPECTED AT THIS TIME.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...MONDAY THROUGH SATURDAY.

COLD AIR WILL BE POURING INTO THE REGION STARTING LATE TUESDAY
NIGHT BEHIND A STRONG COLD FRONT. LAKE EFFECT SNOW SHOWERS WILL
BEGIN TO DEVELOP WEDNESDAY AND CONTINUE THROUGH FRIDAY NIGHT. IT
WILL BE COLD ENOUGH FOR ALL SNOW AND THE TEMPERATURE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN THE AIR GOING OVER THE RELATIVELY WARM LAKE WILL BE HIGH.
HOWEVER...DETAILS ON WHICH AREAS WILL GET SIGNIFICANT LAKE EFFECT
SNOW IS IN QUESTION AS THE WIND DIRECTION WILL BE VARIABLE AND THE
MOISTURE IS SOMEWHAT LIMITED. LATER FORECASTS AND STATEMENTS WILL
NEED TO BE MONITORED.
