CLEVELAND — Today's big weather story is flooding. Or at least the threat of flooding. Showers rolling in before midday should stay light with only brief bursts. We'll be in the lower 80s this afternoon, though, that's warm enough to help fuel the fire.
When we work in some heat, these showers will turn into downpours. Heavy rain hitting the same areas is raising the flood threat. Some spots will get over an inch of rain in under an hour, while others end up with less than a tenth of an inch for the entire day. That's why these flash floods could sneak up on you. Don't let them. Know the forecast and be prepared.
