The National Weather Service issued lake shore flood warnings for low lying areas along Lake Erie from Lorain to the Maumee River in Toledo.

Showers and thundershowers were expected to continue as a slow moving low pressure center crosses northern Indiana, with highs in the 70s to 80s and an 80 percent rain chance today. Northeast winds of 10 to 20 knots and 2 to 4 foot waves were noted on Lake Erie.
