It was interesting this afternoon watching the wind field increase in NW Ohio and work it's way eastward. Overnight tonight we should see sustained winds of 30+ mph with gusts over 50mph. During the day tomorrow the wind will eventually back off to a sustained level of 20+ mph with gusts over 30mph. It's still going to be very windy, but the worst of the weather should be overnight tonight (Monday) and Tuesday morning.
Rainfall will continue to be quite heavy as well. We had 1.50" on Saturday and Sunday. By the time we get to Thursday morning we will add another 2" or more to that total. By the time this system moves out of the area early Friday, we will probably end up with nearly 4" of rain. That's a lot of water!
Overnight tonight and tomorrow we need to be concerned about trees and power lines. The continued strong sustained winds will wear down trees and wires and eventually the trees will fall over, the power lines will break, and extensive power outages will occur. Be careful where you park your vehicle and be careful where you walk.
