flooding along the western basin of Lake Erie today and tonight.
The water level is expected to climb through the morning,
peaking during the afternoon around 76 inches at Toledo and 72
inches at Marblehead. High swimming risk from waves and

Rising water levels in marinas and waterways into the lake may
also submerge docks and shoreline structures.
