CLEVELAND — The National Weather Service has issued a Flash Flood Warning for Portage County and central Stark County until 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday.

At 2:32 p.m. Doppler radar indicated thunderstorms producing heavy rain across the warned area. Between 1 and 2 inches of rain have fallen. Flash flooding is ongoing or expected to begin shortly.

Additional rainfall amounts of 1 to 2 inches are possible in the warned area. 

Some locations that will experience flash flooding include Canton, Ravenna, Massillon, Kent, Green, Tallmadge, North Canton, Streetsboro, Louisville, Mogadore, Hartville, Garrettsville, Navarre, Mantua, Aurora, Brimfield, Randolph, Atwater, Edinburg and Windham.
