Sandy update: Sunday 8pm

Over half an inch of rain fell today at the Weather Center. This is just the beginning of what is going to be an interesting week.

Hurricane Sandy will affect NE Ohio in a big way beginning Monday afternoon. Sustained winds Monday afternoon will reach 20+ mph and remain there through the day Tuesday. In addition, wind gusts of 40+ mph are expected Monday night and throughout the day on Tuesday. These strong winds combined with up to 2” of rainfall during the period will make the ground soft and cause trees to uproot. Considerable property damage and widespread power outages can be expected beginning Monday night. Conditions will start to improve during the day Wednesday, but will still be dangerous.

When you go out tomorrow, be careful where you park your car. Try to avoid parking near trees or power lines. You know why!
