Steady Downpour: How Much Rain Did Shaker Get Recently?

SHAKER HEIGHTS, OH — Recent weeks have seen flash flood warnings, talk of "torrential downpours" and a steady barrage of rain in Shaker Heights and across Northeast Ohio.

After a soggy weekend, the National Weather Service collected rainfall totals from across the region, working to track exactly how much precipitation fells in each city and each county. Shaker Heights was one of the tracking locations used to determine total rainfall.

According to a three-day collection tracker, Shaker Heights received 2.54 inches of rain in approximately 72 hours. That's the third-most rainfall recorded in Cuyahoga County during that stretch, behind only Parma and Strongsville.

Heavy rainfall is considered .3 inches per hour, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.

While rain fell throughout much of northern Ohio, Cuyahoga County actually had one of the driest stretches of day compared to neighboring counties. Both Lorain County and Ashtabula County recorded more than 4 inches of rain in their communities.
