Cincinnati, Ohio – A flood watch remains in effect for parts of Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana until Monday morning as multiple rounds of heavy thunderstorms threaten to bring flash flooding to the region. According to the National Weather Service, excessive rainfall may lead to flooding of rivers, streams, and low-lying areas as rainfall rates intensify throughout the evening.
The National Weather Service issued the watch for several counties across these three states, including Cincinnati, Dayton, Columbus, and Louisville. Residents in areas like Franklin, Butler, Hamilton, and Montgomery in Ohio, as well as Campbell and Boone counties in Kentucky, are urged to monitor weather updates closely. Flash flood warnings may be issued should conditions worsen overnight.
Roadways, particularly in flood-prone areas, could see significant impacts, with localized street flooding expected. Travel could be hazardous, especially in rural or low-lying areas near streams and rivers. Motorists are advised to avoid driving through flooded streets and to be mindful of rapidly changing conditions.
The threat is expected to continue until Monday morning, with additional storms possible. Residents should prepare by having emergency supplies on hand, including flashlights, and ensure that vehicles are parked in areas not prone to flooding.
