FLOOD WATCH UNTIL 6AM.  WILL BE GOING WITH HIGH POPS TONIGHT WITH

GFS AND NAM SHOW FRONT STALLING JUST SOUTH OF FORECAST AREA WITH GFS

REASONABLE.

SET UP ALONG THE EAST COAST DURING PERIOD.  THIS BOUNDARY WILL
STRETCH FROM NEW ENGLAND TO THE GULF COAST.  APPEARS THIS BOUNDARY

EASTERN PORTION OF FORECAST AREAS MON AND ENTIRE AREA OF TUE.  FRONT

ERN AREAS AGAIN.  HI PRES WILL BUILD FROM THE W ON THU CAUSING THE

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF LAKE ERIE...
NORTH CENTRAL OHIO...NORTHEAST OHIO...NORTHWEST OHIO AND
NORTHWEST PENNSYLVANIA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT

THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS TODAY AND TONIGHT
FOR THE ENTIRE AREA. THE MAIN THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL
BE THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY TONIGHT AS A COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH
THE AREA. DAMAGING WIND GUSTS AND LARGE HAIL APPEAR TO BE THE
PRIMARY SEVERE WEATHER THREAT BUT AN ISOLATED TORNADO IS ALSO
POSSIBLE.

ALSO A FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FOR THE AREA THROUGH
THIS EVENING. HEAVY RAINS YESTERDAY AND OVERNIGHT HAVE LEFT A HIGH
POTENTIAL FOR POSSIBLE FLOODING FROM THE ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORMS
EXPECTED TODAY AND TONIGHT. THE GROUND IS SATURATED AND MANY
STREAMS AND RIVERS ARE ALREADY RUNNING HIGH WITH A FEW EVEN
CURRENTLY IN FLOOD IN NORTHWEST AND NORTH CENTRAL OHIO.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY

ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAIN FROM SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE
A THREAT FOR LOCALIZED FLOODING. THE MAIN THREAT FRIDAY AND FRIDAY
NIGHT WILL TEND TO BE OVER THE INLAND COUNTIES AS MUCH OF THE
THUNDERSTORM ACTIVITY SHIFTS INLAND AWAY FROM THE LAKESHORE COUNTIES.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE NEEDED LATER TODAY AND EARLY TONIGHT.
