Flash Flood Warning
National Weather Service Cleveland OH
628 PM EDT FRI JUN 30 2017
The National Weather Service in Cleveland has issued a
* Flash Flood Warning for...
Cuyahoga County in northeastern Ohio...
* Until 1230 AM EDT Saturday
* At 625 PM EDT, Doppler radar indicated thunderstorms producing
heavy rain across the warned area. Up to two inches of rain have
already fallen. Flash flooding is expected to begin shortly.
Several locations have areas of high water from earlier
precipitation and two additional rounds of rain will only add to
the flooding issues across the county. Several creeks, including
Big Creek and West Creek, have seen water rises and water will
likely overflow their banks shortly.
* Some locations that will experience flooding include...
Cleveland, Parma, Lakewood, Euclid, Cleveland Heights,
Strongsville, Westlake, North Royalton, Solon, Warrensville
Heights, South Russell, Highland Hills, North Olmsted, Garfield
Heights, Shaker Heights, Maple Heights, South Euclid, Parma
Heights, Rocky River, Seven Hills and Broadview Heights.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood
deaths occur in vehicles.
Excessive runoff from heavy rainfall will cause flooding of small
creeks and streams, urban areas, highways, streets and underpasses as
well as other drainage areas and low lying spots.

CUYAHOGA COUNTY...
At 750 PM EDT, Doppler radar indicated thunderstorms producing heavy
rain across the warned area. Up to three inches of rain have already

flooding to continue across the area. Heavy rainfall and flooding
has allowed for Interstate 480 to be closed east of State Route 176.

deaths occur in vehicles.

creeks and streams, urban areas, highways, streets and underpasses as
well as other drainage areas and low lying spots.
