  • Flash Flood Watch issued September 09 at 4:05AM EDT until September 10 at 8:00PM EDT by NWS
  • Effective: Sunday, September 9, 2018 at 3:05 a.m.

  • ...Excessive Rainfall Expected...
    .Moisture associated with the tropical remnant low pressure
    system will continue to move into the local area through Monday
    morning. The combination of the low pressure system and abundant
    moisture will cause a significant amount of rain to possibly fall
    across the area through Monday. The highest rainfall amounts
    will be focused southeast of a line from Mansfield to Warren. The
    potentially heavy rainfall could also cause rivers and streams to
    go out of their banks during this time period. Areas that
    experience very heavy rain in a short amount of time could see
    flash flooding develop mainly late this afternoon into this
    evening.
    ...FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH MONDAY EVENING...

    higher amounts possible farther south. Portions of
    Holmes...Stark and possibly Mahoning and Trumbull Counties could
    see as much as 4 inches of rain. The heaviest rain will fall
    today. This amount of rain could cause main stem rivers, streams
    and creeks to go out of their banks causing flooding. Some
    localized areas could see flash flooding due to heavy rain on
    saturated soils.
