TOLEDO, Ohio — After Thursday saw the first snowflakes of the season, Friday is expected to bring cold conditions as well as some rain chances.
Shower chances will be highest Friday near the lakeshore and east of Toledo, with lake effect rain showers developing as the day goes on. Otherwise, expect a breezy and chilly Friday, though it won't be quite as cold as Thursday.
It will be cold and brisk for Lights Before Christmas at the Toledo Zoo. You can watch the official tree lighting live on WTOL 11 News on air and on WTOL 11+ starting at 5 p.m. Friday.
Cloudy but dry skies are likely throughout the weekend, as highs remain the 40s both Saturday and Sunday.
If you're looking for even a slight warmup, look to Monday, which will bring highs into the 50s with a few rain showers.
However, conditions cool down again around Thanksgiving, when highs drop from the 40s to the 30s by next weekend, to mark the coldest weekend of the season so far.
