The National Weather Service says a trough of low pressure will move east across the area late tonight. Flow ahead of the trough will be ideal for lake effect to continue through the night from west to east. 

The lake effect snow band will produce brief bursts of moderate to heavy snow at times in and advisory area. 

The wintry weather has caused the city of Painesville to issue a snow parking ban until further notice. 

In addition, ODOT reports that speeds on the I-90 corridor in Lake County have been reduced due to low visibility and heavy snowfall coating the roads.
