the blue numbers, they are the windchills, in the teens in many spots, bundle up. it is chilly and boy, it is breezy outeat there. notice the wind gusts in downtown, right on the water at 44 miles per hour. i was looking at lake erie and the waves out there are absolutely huge. only experienced mariners should be on the water. and there is a gale warning out there. notice, again, we are still tracking lake effect snow fo if you are waking up with thus morning, not only in parts of cuyahoga county, but lorain county, medina, and it looks like a couple more flakes are going to continue to fly around north holement stead.

again, minor activities there. and if--accumulations there. and if you are aiding down 77 to akron or canton, again a couple of flakes in your neck of the woods as well. this is an area of low pressure, on the back end of the subpoena, it is that really cold air over the relatively warm lake erie. and as the system is kicking out of here, in its wake, well, by the busiest travel day of the year, we are looking at another system going back to la and san francisco, all of this energy is going race across the country and then impact us, again, this upcoming wednesday with rainfall. so snow should not be an issue by thanksgiving. let's show you the remainder of the morning, again, still going to be tracking some of those embedded areas of banded snowfall. i think that was we move

through the morning and then into the afternoon, it is going to slowly push to the east as that big l, that area of low pressure is also pushing off to the east. but notice, though, even this evening, there is a chance that up towards places like the eastern edge of lake county, going to ashtabula county, we could still be dealing with a couple of snow flakes there as well and it is a reason that the snowfall forecast, that we could see late bit more ow snowfall before everything is said and done. torn morning, very--tomorrow morning, very chilly. tomorrow afternoon, temperatures are not making it out of the 30s. a cool day ahead of us. mostly of us, dry through 2:00 p.m. but trace amounts of snowfall, seen in cuyahoga county, but also, as we just mentioned, i think that we will also see, maybe up to an inch or so of snowfall in some of the primary snow belt regions through the

of the afternoon. forecast, looks like this, again, temperatures in the 30 both today and tomorrow. and again, that wind donation seven day is showing you 40s by your tuesday. i think wednesday, we will be at a wet 49-degrees. 50s just in time for thanks giving. so i think thanksgiving itself looks pretty nice. but, a couple of showers may dance around northeast ohio by that points. ab hey, if you are heading out to the game, 1:00 p.m. this afternoon. maureen, it is so chilly outside. just be prepared for it. i want to hear more about 1:00 p.m. today, a loft things going on. --a lot of things going on. all right, we will be right
