Good morning, Cuyahoga County. Three to six inches of rainfall headed our way could make history this weekend, and not the kind we want to celebrate. The National Weather Service has issued a Flood Watch for seventeen counties starting Wednesday evening, with 3News Senior Meteorologist Matt Wintz warning this "could be some of the heaviest rain we've had in years." Rivers, creeks, and low-lying areas throughout Northeast Ohio are particularly vulnerable as multiple rounds of heavy precipitation approach.
In downtown developments, KPMG is packing its boxes for a 2025 move to K&D's Post Office Plaza near Tower City, joining other corporate relocations reshaping Cleveland's business landscape. Meanwhile, the final chapter has been written in former councilman Basheer Jones' corruption saga, with a federal judge sentencing him to over two years in prison plus $143,000 in restitution for swindling nonprofits. The one-time mayoral candidate will also serve three years of supervision following his release.
