Storms Linger Threatening Flooding | Cleveland News

Northeast Ohio’s early Monday thunderstorms left tens of thousands without power, and the danger isn’t over—more damaging winds and heavy rain are possible through Tuesday. Forecasters warn of localized flooding as storms repeatedly target the same areas, with a stalled front dictating storm placement. A Level Two severe weather risk means damaging winds are the top threat, plus lightning and sudden downpours. Even the Akron Zoo delayed opening due to outages—but all animals stayed safe. Another storm system is brewing westward, potentially shifting toward Cleveland, with a severe thunderstorm watch in effect until 3 PM. Rain totals could reach half to over an inch by Thursday, especially in flood zones—so never drive through flooded roads. Drier, less humid air is expected by Thursday and Friday.
