A warm-up is on the way, but weather watchers say not to worry about immediate flooding. We re expecting that any snow pack would melt pretty slowly, said Alexa Maines, meteorologist with the National Weather Service s Cleveland office. We ll definitely significantly reduce the snow pack over the next few days, if not get rid of it.
Temperatures are expected to reach into the mid- to upper-40s later this week in the Akron-Canton area.
The spring thaw in previous years has come with heavy rain onto an already saturated ground, resulting in flooding that has done millions of dollars in damage. Quick warm-ups leave snow melting fast.
