One thing about Northeast Ohio weather, it rarely gets dull. Less than three days after heavy snow, heavy rain is in the forecast. Here's the scenario:

Map time: 7pm Monday
Rainfall for Portage and Summit Counties
is forecast to be 1.5" or more by Monday evening.

Warmer air is going to push into the area on Sunday. By Monday morning a strong LOW will be located around western Lake Erie. By late Monday a second weaker LOW will be moving into the Ohio Valley. At the same time, a cold front will be sweeping across the state. (Whew!) With Monday's daytime highs in the mid 50s, some thundershowers are also a possibility.
Rainfall amounts of 1" to 1.5" will be general across the area. Combine that with the melting snow, and localized flooding is going to be a definite reality.
The rain should move out quickly Monday night and Tuesday will be mostly sunny and a bit cooler.
