REMEMBER: NEVER drive your car through flooded roadways; the water may be deeper than it appears. Turn Around – Don’t Drown!
WIND ADVISORY
An area of low pressure over Illinois will move northeast to lower Michigan this evening and then pass to the north of Lake Erie overnight. A strong cold front trailing this low will sweep east across the local area tonight. The front should move into Northwest Ohio late this evening. Winds behind the front will become westerly and quickly increase. Sustained winds of 25 to 30 MPH are likely along with occasional gusts to as much as 50 MPH. The winds should diminish from west to east across the area late tonight as the low moves well off to the northeast.
In addition – a line of showers and thunderstorms are likely ahead of the front this evening. Brief gusty winds can be expected with the thunderstorms. A few gusts greater than 50 MPH are possible with the strongest of the thunderstorms.
