CLEVELAND — Hit-and-miss storms with torrential rainfall was expected Friday afternoon, especially for communities away from the lakeshore.
Showers and thunderstorms will continue until this evening, with rainfall rates that may reach 2 to 3 inches per hour at times with slow-moving storms.
Some communities could also be impacted by repeated rounds of heavy rain. Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
LIVE LOOK in Akron around 5:15 pm on Friday. Torrential rain is ongoing & is leading to flooding across Summit and Portage Counties. A flash flood warning is in effect until 8 pm after 1-3 inches of rain has fallen in the area. Additional rainfall of 1 to 1.5 inches is possible. pic.twitter.com/o308n1B4tI

*Remember: if and when a flash flood warning is issued where you live, take it very seriously. Do not drive unless you need to, and NEVER drive through flooded roads.*
