CLEVELAND — On-and-off downpours and storms will continue midday Sunday and become more numerous with a growing flood threat for some. The rain is being brought to you by a slow-moving storm, which is why these downpours could cause some flooding where they stall out. Areas hit with repeated rounds of rain could also see some flooding. There is also a concern for damaging wind gusts Sunday afternoon and evening. Be sure to have a way to get warnings when you are out and about on Sunday.
The storm will also help temperatures dip a bit on Sunday and Monday. The cool down doesn't last long. In fact, it looks like August will be starting with near-average temperatures and next week is looking fairly unsettled with daily storm chances.
