Lake Effect Snow Watch Issued For Region

Meteorologists warn that the eastern suburbs of Cleveland could receive between one and two feet of snow between Sunday and Wednesday

The National Weather Service has issued a lake effect snow watch for the region, warning that the eastern suburbs of Cleveland -- including Mentor -- could receive as much as two feet of snow between Sunday evening and Wednesday morning. The snow will be caused by an arctic airmass that is moving into the area. Its cold air combined with the low pressure across the Great lakes will allow for the possibility of persistent lake effect snow across Northeast Ohio and Northwest Pennsylvania. The snow could begin as early as Sunday evening, but it's expected to be at its worst from Monday afternoon through much of Tuesday. The snow will also be paired with a drop in temperatures.

Flood Watch Issued For Lake County, Grand River

The river is expected to exceed its flood bank by Sunday afternoon

The National Weather Service has issued a flood watch for Lake County and the Grand River, in particular. The river's flood stage is eight feet. And, while the river's level was 7.1 feet as of Saturday morning, its expected to be deeper than eight feet by Sunday afternoon. Consequently, the river is expected to flood the Lake Metroparks property south of Painesville and possibly Vrooman Road Sunday afternoon and evening. Heavy rain -- between an inch and an inch and a half -- is expected throughout the region tonight. That and unseasonable warmth have caused the snow to melt rapidly, which could cause flooding in some low-lying areas. The flood watch is in effect through Sunday evening.
