So far today, it has just been your typical cool, cloudy, breezy, rainy Ohio day. As the evening goes on, however, we will see increased rain and wind as the center of Sandy makes landfall along the Jersey/Delaware shore.

High wind warnings and a flood watch remain in effect through Tuesday afternoon and evening to address this situation. While we will definitely escape the worst Sandy has to offer, here in the Mahoning Valley, we can expect at least gusty winds to 50 mph and flood-prone areas will most likely be affected. Rainfall totals of 3 to 5 inches are definitely possible.

Stay safe everyone! Be smart!
