Lakeshore Hazard Message
National Weather Service Cleveland OH
413 AM EDT Sat Jun 8 2019

...Lakeshore Flooding Expected Today Into Tonight...

.East-northeast winds of 15 to 25 knots will be present over the
lake today into tonight with high pressure over the eastern Great
Lakes and low pressure moving north into the Ohio Valley. This
will likely result in lakeshore flooding on the Lake Erie Islands
and along the Lake Erie shoreline from Toledo to Vermilion. Water
levels are expected to peak this afternoon and evening.
Additionally, high wave action over the central basin will 
present a high swimming risk.

...LAKESHORE FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 4 AM EDT
SUNDAY...

* LOCATIONS...Lucas, Ottawa, Erie and Sandusky Counties in Ohio.

* TIMING...Until 4 AM EDT Sunday.

* LAKESHORE FLOODING...East-northeast winds of 15 to 25 knots will
  result in rising water levels across the western basin of Lake
  Erie today into tonight. As of 1 AM EDT, the water level at
  Toledo was 67 inches above low water datum and at Marblehead was
  65 inches above low water datum. The water level is beginning to
  increase and is expected to reach at least 80 inches above low
  water datum at Toledo by this afternoon. Water levels at
  Marblehead will approach 75 inches above low water datum during
  this same time. In addition, wave action of 3 to 5 feet on the
  western basin of Lake Erie will enhance the flood threat and
  beach erosion. Water levels will start receding late tonight but
  may remain elevated into Sunday.

* SHORELINE IMPACTS...Flooding is expected along the immediate 
  lakeshore. Beach and shoreline erosion is also possible. 
  Rising water levels in marinas and waterways into the lake may 
  also submerge docks and shoreline structures.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Lakeshore Flood Warning is issued when flooding is occurring or
imminent along the lake. Residents on or near the shore in the
warned area should take immediate action to protect life and
property.
