Cincinnati, OH – Large portions of the Ohio Valley received between 1 and 5 inches of rainfall over the past week, with more showers expected this weekend in the southeast part of the region.
According to the National Weather Service’s Ohio River Forecast Center, widespread rainfall soaked much of Ohio, Kentucky, and West Virginia between September 19 and September 26. The heaviest amounts were concentrated in southern Ohio and northern Kentucky, with rainfall totals pushing above 4 inches in some areas.
Forecasters said additional precipitation is likely in the southeast Ohio Valley through Sunday, September 28. After that, drier conditions are expected to return across most of the region.
The rain has raised concerns for localized flooding in low-lying and urban areas, especially where drainage systems remain saturated. Rural counties along the Ohio River are also monitoring stream levels, though no major flood warnings have been issued as of Friday morning.
Residents are advised to keep an eye on weekend forecasts and use caution while traveling, as wet roads may continue to pose hazards.
